Haha, yes, acrylic isn't the best material for FRC. I mostly wanted to see how the laser cutter would work on a part like that. The silver lining is that later that day, I picked up some more aluminium, and we're making it out of that for next time!

Nope, it's not bent (although that's an interesting idea...). The handle thing is for the 120 amp breaker, so it sits right in front of the PDB (less resistance). It's less a bellypan and more of just a board for the electronics. We might do a wood, garolite or aluminium bellypan which this would sit on, as an easily removable component.
