Re: Distro block, maxi fuse box, and ground stem
Al,

Who did you talk to at FIRST that said the wiring diagram is the the rule, rather then a suggestion?

I read <R42> as saying that the robot MUST be wired as the rules say. Then it refers to the power distribution diagram. It says that the power distribution diagram is a conveniance, which is far from saying that it is the bible.

As ttedrow points out, section 5.6.1 says that you may wire the speed controllers ground to the circuit breaker panel, with no mention of the ground stud for speed controllers connected to a 40 amp circuit.
