Kevin is correct, I put a large lexan sheet in center to mount electronics to as well as some smaller panels in those open side areas. I put the motor controllers in those side areas as they would be close to the swerve modules there. I chose not to spend time populating all the electronics in as that is always so dependent on the game as far as space availability and felt my time was better spent working on something else.

As Kevin mentioned, we as a team have one single assembly for every VP combo. I was working on this project on my personal computer rather than the Genesis Automation/team servers so when I tried changing the configurations I was having issues. I decided to just leave it as is since editing the VP in real life is very straightforward and could easily be changed to a BAG or 550.

I have some decent renders that show things pretty well, so I'll see if I can get those up here.
