Last years PDB does comply with the rules for the 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition because its the same exact thing as the DIN Rail just not on a rail.
I know this thread is a little old, but I really want to confirm whether ghhs is right. Is it okay to use power distribution block from 2006 instead of the DIN rail? R27 seems to indicate that you can't. But then there's R28 having me wish I knew what COTS meant. Honestly, after four years of FIRST, I still have no idea how to understand the rules.
