Re: Circuit Breaker Placement

Imagine this scenario: Your robot is on the field, and it is smoking heavily (nearly on fire). Someone who has never seen your robot needs to turn off the main breaker. NOW.

Now, ask yourself: Is that breaker accessible/visible?

Use that standard, and you'll be fine.

As for the position now, I don't like it, too far inside the robot.
