It's a minor thing that could help clean up the appearance of the board just that little bit extra without making the panel unserviceable.
One minor thing that would make it easier to use at competitions is the orientation of your router. I'm not quite sure how much clearance you have between your main disconnect (power switch) and your open ethernet ports. Since you have to tether to your robot at competition when you're not on the field, I would double check that you have enough room to comfortably plug an ethernet cable into the currently unused ports. If not, you may want to see if you have enough length on your cables to flip the router around 180* to make tethering to the robot easier.
Overall though I think it's a very nice job! A lot of robots show up to competition with what my team has dubbed "spaghetti monster" wiring that kind of goes all over the place. This wiring is well organized into little "highways" of sorts such that all your wires are routed along one main loop between components, and it really make the wiring look a lot cleaner than it would otherwise!
Good luck at the competition!

Thanks I will zip tie the talon wires as much as possible. As for the router there's really no way to put it anywhere else but I tested it and everything can comfortably connect to it. Thanks again
