Re: pic: XBot 2007 electronics panel

Very nice job. I just wish they'd come up with something better than the maxi block for the 40 amp circuits. It's the most ridiculously heavy breaker block I've ever seen. I think the 4 position maxi block weighs more than the entire '05-'06 IFI breaker panel. I don't know why more teams didn't use the IFI panel (other than size, which wasn't that bad, and maybe too many 20-30 amp circuit slots).

Wouldn't it be nice if they came out with the DIN rail product to accept the breakers? That would kill two birds with one stone, and I think the DIN rail is even lighter than the maxi blocks and it's handling the entire 120 amp load.
