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

the distribution block and ground stud are required for this years robots circuit
Where do you guys see in the rules where it says the ground stud is REQUIRED?

Instead of using the ground lug, we have used the center "phase 2" of the Allen Bradley Distribution block which is more than enough to hold the current in not better than crimp on ring connectors to a ground stud.

However if someone could let me know if I missed something in the rules about the ground stud "required" I'd like to read it again.

PS: Attached is a very quick sketch I did of what I mean. I hope you guys can make heads or tails of it...
