Re: Illegal?

1 more quick question! Are false floors illegal? I want to hide some of the wires with a false floor, do the wires have to be visible to the inspectors? Or just the contacts?

Re: Illegal?

I think that they are legal to have but if an inspector wants to get to the wires it needs to be easily accessible for them otherwise they may think that you are up to something other than just hiding your wiring and may not pass your bot at inspection.

I would be hesitant to pass a robot whose wiring I couldn't see. Now, if you can remove a panel for inspection (and repair, don't forget repair), you'll generally be fine.
