Re: Clarification on R29!

Our robot this year will have a clear plastic (I believe polycarbonate) cowling that can be easily unbolted at one end and flipped up on a hinge at the other end to allow not only inspection, but any repairs/modifications we may need to make. If the inspector is happy looking, that won't be a problem at all. If he wants to touch, we'll just pop the hood. This is the first time in three years we're using an explicit board-protection panel - the last two years, we had so many structural or functional elements above the control board that we weren't worried about a game piece falling onto the red button on the main breaker or other elements of the other control system.
