Re: Power Distribution Board visibility for inspection
Tie the wires together, label and shorten them as much as possible. The longer an inspector spends with your robot the more things they will find wrong.
I believe inspectors have to make sure the correct snap-action breaker is in the correct slot. From the perspective of the picture (I would call this the "easy perspective") you cannot do that therefore you would fail inspection until the breakers were visible. Last time I was an inspector at a regional was 2011, so if I am wrong and something has changed please let me know.
Also if any of your breakers fail during a match how do you expect to replace them? Place your PD on top of the hex tubes instead.

Do not worry about the VEX camp versus FIRST camp issues. It is a huge marketplace. It is only about 4% penetrated. There is room for everyone. And competition is good for the consumer. - ebarker [more]
