Thats intresting. Last year, we had lexan shields on the sides of our bot, with some transparent paper that had our sponsers printed on it. This paper, covered all our electronics, including the breaker panels. There was a hole cut out so you could get a large hand inside to easily kill the 120a breaker. The inspectors (at Sac AND Atlanta) never questioned any of the electronics, and there was NO way they could see them. Our bot passed inspection in less than 10 minutes at both events. I was actually rather suprised on how easy the process went .. I figured it was going to take much longer than it did.
