Re: Where to mount the battery?

Actually, even upside down is perfectly fine. Just do not charge it upside down, because of the overpressure vents on top. During use the battery won't need to vent making orientation irrelevant

I have seen several robots with the battery mounted right to the bottom center of the robot. To change the battery, they just tip the robot on its side, exposng the battery mount.
