Vertical or Diagonal Electronics Board

Is there any risk or disadantage to having a vertical or diagonal electronics board? What (if any) are the advantages of a horizontal board over said design?

One of the concerns raised by our team was that Jaguars, victors, and other dynamic electrical components might be damaged by gyroscopic forces as the robot turns. Is this valid?
