Apart from that, it looks very robust. The 8020 should lower the COG and provide easy mounting of manipulators.Adding a bellypan would be nice for electronics.
What size chain? #25 or #35? How are you tensioning it?
Electronics will be on non-structural honeycombed fiberglass that's actually re-purposed from 2010-ish. It's a board that's seen use every year as a electronics training board. It's even a 7-slot cRIO.

#25 chain, VEXPro sliding bearing blocks with the CAMs.

Fun graphics, FWIW:
Prototype Offseason Drivetrain with 2 BAG Motors
Fully-loaded Drivetrain with 4 CIM motors
