Vent position only matters when you're charging, though. At high overcharging currents, electrolysis produces oxygen and hydrogen which can build pressure and requires venting. There's no gas production or need for venting at any other time. Those datasheet are just assuming you're using them in a standard application, where a battery is semi-permanently installed and is discharged and charged in place. As long as he isn't charging his battery on the robot, he'll be fine.
