Re: Power Distribution Board visibility for inspection

With that setup, you'll make your inspector very unhappy, as they'll have a very difficult time seeing what they need to see.

Rather than reconfigure the board, is it possible to add a hinge on the bottom? Our electrical board is likewise at the very bottom of our robot under other stuff, but we have one side of the board hinged and the other bolted. For inspection, we tip the robot on its side, remove two bolts, and the whole thing is very, very easily visible!
