2898 electrical board

Is the fact that the PD is under the cRio a violation of R44-H?

<R44>-H
The Power Distribution Board and all circuit breakers must be easily visible for inspection at each FRC event

The top piece comes off so you can get at in like 10 seconds or so.

It could be but it is hard to tell from the pictures. It appears that an inspector should be able to see the breakers. Off note, wiring in the high current side of the PD can only be fed with 40 amp breakers so it is easy to tell that #12 or larger wire is connected to the PD at those terminals. The 20 and 30 amp breakers would be a little harder and may require you to raise the hood to see inside. Be prepared.

Team 2080 did something similar to your electrical system last year. You may want to watch out for being able to us your wago tool on the PD board, and with the breakers. I know you've said that it only takes 10 seconds to take off the top plate, but you may also want to worry about being able to get to the section of the robot where the electronics are and still taking it off, and then also what you will do with the top plate after you take it off, it may seem like nothing but if during competition you need to get to the PD board for some reason you won't want that top plate getting in your way.
I do hope this design works for you though (means your validating my design), and good luck in competition
