Yeah, don't rely on your electronics board to support your battery unless you use some thick plywood (1/2'') or something. Our battery broke through our 1/4'' plastic board at the finals at our district competition. Had to brace it with a water bottle, rope, and some carefully placed zip ties.
It's also nice to have identical components oriented in the same manner (like the power input on jags all facing the power distribution board, etc.) The less spaghetti,
the easier it is to find problems.
