What's the 'done' way to keep an access cover closed?

Is it just a household plug going into a household socket, like this?



If so, it will work perfectly fine in terms of making and breaking the circuit, but it will pop out far more easily than a Deans, XT-60, EC5/8 or Anderson connector. We used ours in a featherweight (non-combat) and just getting bumped from other feathers was enough to dislodge it.

Have come up with this, rather than using the standard bolt-in fuse holder I made a fuse clip which I will mount in a recess, basically it's a giant version of a blade fuse used in cars so now the fuse doubles as a kill switch.

Never fails to amaze me how roboteers can take something so simple and make it complex as hell. For reference the LED thread is a good 1000 posts or so long when those first came in the rule book.

Fair point but it's half the fun. Ended up with this in the recess:

The led thread was initially not about power led though, but on failsafe led as it was written into the ruleset.
