Re: Power distribution board help.

Running motors off <40A circuits is ok. Be sure to pay attention to the table in R47.

Not quite. The PDB has 20 standard 12v ports. The sidecar needs 1, the analog breakout on the CRIO needs 1.

If you're running pneumatics, the compressor needs one, and most likely the solenoid breakout needs one too (since most teams run 12v solenoids off the analog breakout).
