You may need to show data for those terminals during inspection.
From 2015 rules (unlikely to change much)
R40 All non-SIGNAL LEVEL wiring with a constant polarity (i.e., except for outputs of relay modules, motor controllers, or sensors) shall be color-coded along their entire length (from the manufacturer) as follows:
A. Red, yellow, white, brown, or black-with-stripe on the positive (e.g. +24VDC, +12VDC, +5VDC, etc.) connections
B. Black or blue for the common or negative side (-) of the connections.
I agree with Gary that heat is a bad thing especially when under the RoboRio.

I am wondering, do the breakers need to be visible just for inspection or for the length of the tournament? Also The same question about the PDP indicator lights. As far as the 2 layer panel is it meant that positive wires should be red and ground should be black, or do the wires have to each be different colors (ex. VRM to PDP is yellow and black, PCM to PDP is red and black?
