Hm, if anything I'd make the the jaguars are inside the box. You dont want anything to get in them or such because they do have a tendency to be unreliable. That is, if you're still going to keep the box.

I have lexan plastic over my victors, and while the robot was just in the shop the amount of metal sharps/anything else that got on it were shocking.

Whatever you end up doing with your electronics board, cage or not I'd highly suggest to keep the jaguars covered.
