clarification of rule <R44> on the "The Robot" section

Quote:
<R44>The 12V battery, the main 120-amp circuit breaker, and the Power Distribution Board shall be connected as shown in Figure 8-6. In particular:
A. The battery must be connected to the ROBOT power system through the use of the Anderson Power Products (APP) connector.
B.The APP connector must be attached to the battery with either the copper lugs provided in the BURNDY Bag or appropriately-rated and -sized lug connectors.
C.The battery terminals and the connecting lugs must be insulated with shrink tubing and/or electrical tape.
D.The main 120-amp circuit breaker must be directly connected to the hot (+) leg of the ROBOT-side APP connector. Only one 120 amp main circuit breaker is allowed. This breaker must not be bypassed.
E.The Power Distribution Board must be directly connected to the APP connector and main 120-amp circuit breaker. No other loads may be connected to the main 120-amp circuit breaker.
F.Each primary power connection between the battery and Power Distribution Board must be made with 6 AWG red and black wire or larger
G.The 120-amp circuit breaker must be quickly accessible from the exterior of the ROBOT. It is recommended that the 120-amp circuit breaker location be clearly and obviously labeled to permit it to be easily found by field personnel during a MATCH.
H. The Power Distribution Board and all circuit breakers must be easily visible for inspection at each FRC event.
ok, i have a question on part H of that rule.
i don't know how "easily" visible our power distribution board would be. we have a 2 tiered component layout with our first layer containing our power distribution board but it isnt the most easily visible component we have. (Detailed pic will be provided an about a day or so). But basically theres about 4-5 inches of open space between the bottom and top level but sadly they are both made a black plastic material so seeing through them is not an option.
