I sure can, this an accumulation of a lot of random features I've seen on other robots when inspecting them or have been posted on CD. The panel mount Voltmeter and ethernet port should make practice a bit easier. The pneumatics stuff is just to give a convenient place to access it. All of this will be below the tops of the bumpers so it should be pretty well protected. Here are the links to all the items.

2 wire Volt Meter
Ethernet Keystone Coupler
Panel Mount for 1/8 NPT Pneumatics
Small Pressure Gauges
Miniature Pneumatic Valve

I'm also looking at bumper mounting systems. The latch systems used by 254, 971, and other seem really expensive at around $10 each. Has anyone had experience with McMaster quarter turn fasteners?

Also here are the CAD files for the sheet metal in both Solidworks 2013 and STEP. Dropbox Link
