Sorry, for me that doesn't pass
R40 The PDP and all circuit breakers must be easily visible for Inspection.
If you give the volunteer a chance, they will make every effort to get you into the action for every match, inspectors included. We desperately want you to play. I have inspected teams with flip up electrical systems. Some done well and others not so much but they worked.
For clarity, the rule is written so that we can examine breaker values and compare to the wire leaving the PDP and getting to controllers. We have to see it all to pass the item on the inspection checklist.
