Re: pic: TEAN 540 E-BOARD 1

I think what I have done is legal, because I have done it for the past 3 years and never had anything said by the inspectors. Also that same rule was in the rules last year and i did not have to change it at competition. But i will take the stuff I need to fix it at competition. Thanks for the info.

This is from the Rule Book last year
<R57> The 12V battery, the main 120-amp circuit breaker, the power distribution block, and circuit
breaker distribution panels must be connected as shown in the 2007 Power Distribution
Diagram. In particular:
 The battery must be connected to the ROBOT power system through the use of the
Anderson Power Products (APP) connector.
 The APP connector must be attached to the battery with either the copper lugs provided in
the FCI Burndy Bag or appropriate crimp-on lug connectors.
 The battery terminals and the connecting lugs must be insulated with shrink tubing and/or
electrical tape.
 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.
 The power distribution block 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.
 All circuit breaker distribution panels must be connected directly to the power distribution
block. No intermediate connections are permitted.

 Additional lengths of #6 red and #6 black wire may be used to reach the panels as needed
to make the above connections.
 Circuit breakers must be accessible for inspection at each FIRST Robotics Competition
event.
