Inspector tip. Label your main breaker in addition to keeping it visible. Check to ensure still visible with bumpers on. During inspection with bumpers off it may look great, then bumpers on the breaker is hidden. Oppps.

End-goal is to prevent damage to your robot in the event of a 'smoking' failure. Having the main breaker labeled on the bot for the FTA or field support to quickly find may prevent further damage.

Again if failure with smoke, you may need to quickly replace wire or components. Easy access to PD will help a lot during post incident troubleshooting.
