Custom power distribution
I'm working on a simple power distribution layout with 3 Victors in low-load applications, powered by a 12V SLA battery like this one. To do so (without using the full-scale FRC control system), I'm connecting the motor controllers in parallel to a terminal block. A 4th load will be powered through one of the old 12V-5V converters, also hooked up to the parallel circuit. I've attached images of the circuit below.

Full circuit, without 12V-5V converter

Is there any way that this circuit can damage any of the hardware (especially the Victors)?
