One Suggestion Nick (FRC254) gave me was to stand up the battery, it gives you more room for electronics. The render Akash links to shows the battery stood up.

I agree somewhat, though there are good justifications for both standing it and laying it flat. Mechanically I have always preferred a flat battery, as it shifts around less and lowers the CG more (I am a mech guy). But if I was to add a compressor and all the primary electronics, this design should either have a standing battery as you suggest, or a dual level control board. My electrical friends would always harass us about not standing up the battery, so mabye appeasing the controls group is a good enough reason to stand it up...
