Depends on your definition of "easy". I've inspected a number of robots with covers over parts of their innards; most have been no problem to inspect. Remember, YOU have to work on the robot if something goes wrong...if it's easy for you to work on the PD board it's probably easy for us to inspect.

We're looking for wire sizes and proper hookups (1 wire per Wago, radio and cRio power, etc.) along with amperages for motors and all of the other PD rules. I actually had to have one team turn their robot on its side to see the PD board; neither of us appreciated the extra time that inspection took.
