This box can be completly dissconected and isolated from the robot for very easy troubleshooting (which i had to do at Great Lakes with help from team 45 the TechnoKats THANK YOU!!), so that is very handy. I also put in neon and LED fans for cooling but the judges made us turn off our neon because the said "they overpowered the team color lights."
If you have any questions about the box just keep posting, i will try to be online more often lol.
Glad the Inspectors didn't give you any trouble other than the lighting about the fans. Someday I hope our team has space and weight for a control box as sharp as yours.
