How can an adapter be okay when R25 clearly says:

Quote:
R25 The one (1) ROBOT battery, Anderson Power Products (or APP) 2-pole SB type connectors, the one (1) main 120-amp (120A)circuit breaker (Cooper Bussman P/N: CB185-120), and the one (1) Cross The Road Electronics Power Distribution Panel (PDP,P/N: am-2856, 217-4244) shall be connected with 6 AWG wire or larger as shown in Figure 4-2.
(emphasis mine)

I don't see an adapter anywhere in figure 4-2. If they specifically show the wiring layout they want and the lead of lead inspectors says we can ignore that, how are we to know what other rules won't be enforced at events?
