Using ground stem for power distribution

I'm currently using the ground stem as a power distribution - I have a bunch of connectors bolted on. It is properly insulated, very small chance of anything going wrong. It does not touch the robot frame, etc. Is this legal? I am using it in place of the power distribution brick, as it is smaller, lighter, and can use the right size wiring. I see no problems, but I wanted to check. Also, people keep saying that you must adhere to the power distribution chart. The way I read the rules is that this is a suggestion, not absolute law. What's the ruling on this?

Thanks,
Steven
