Keep in mind that this board is missing a circuit breaker, which you must have (you seem to be referring to it as the "killswitch").

Other things that you may want to take a look at are spiral wrap and the plastic routing chain that comes in the igus bag. They're both handy ways of protecting long wire runs, and in the case of the latter, ensuring a constant direction of motion for said wire run as you actuate an appendage.
