<R45> Items specifically permitted on 2007 FRC ROBOTS include:
One additional 4-slot Maxi-block circuit breaker panel and utilize it on their 2007 ROBOT in addition to, or in replacement of, the circuit breaker panels provided in the Kit Of Parts.

Sorry,
There is no other alternative. Ask this on the Q&A as I suspect they may be lenient in the use of single or dual versions of the Maxi block.
