Instead of doing something like that to swap parts quickly, you could just add on extras of vital parts that need little work to be changed out (motor controllers come to mind). For other stuff like the PDB, DS, and cRIO, you'd be spending a lot of time detaching all of the wires in the first two cases and well... I wouldn't velcro on a cRIO and just roll with it.

It is personal preference, but I like bolting down electronics.
