Re: Mounting an Electronics Board Under the Chassis

Please open the Robot Rules, Section 4 and search for "visible". In addition to these rules, mounting the electronics on the underside of the robot (especially upside down) subjects the heart of your robot to all of the debris on the field. In addition, gravity works against you and will pull on things like the breakers, dirt to damage items at any inconvenient time. Your Robot Inspector will be happy if you mount everything where it can be seen from the top of the robot.
