Ouch. I happen to fall into this boat; we considered everything that could fall/hang/dangle off/down/from the robot's electrical system (which was mounted upside down as a safety measure against balls and to save space on the robot) - however, I guess we never considered the breakers falling out since we have a hard time pulling them out by hand as it is. But, I guess I can see how this is just another thing we need to consider. Any suggestions on how to guarantee the breakers don't fall out, other than mounting the board right-side up? Has that been a problem with the new Power Distribution Boards?
