Would that be considered accessible. And if not, what if the top layer was able to come off quickly to make the breaker accessible
Ryan,
The circuit breakers need to be accessible so that inspectors can see that the correct breakers are in place and used as designed. I personally would spread things out a little, and you are likely to find that the victors are going to need some circulating air. You could always drill some large holes in the center plate for additional air flow. I have seen designs like this in the past and they are very cool if they work.
Just a reminder to all, give the inspectors some thought when designing the layout. It will help everyone if they can get through your robot quickly.
