We did something very similar this year. We mounted the RoboRio, PDP, PCM, VRM, and Pneumatic gauges and regulators on the top and motor controllers on the bottom so that the module sandwiched the wires. The result was a very clean and elegant control panel that we were able to easily remove in a couple of minutes.

A couple problems with it:

Perhaps it's not the best place to put pneumatics because getting a leak in the middle of the panel is a nightmare.
Also any time you needed to work on the wiring, you have to disassemble the thing which can get annoying after the forty-eighth time.

As a FIRST Alum, it's nice to be able to eat dinner again. That is, until I get off the meal plan and have to start feeding myself.
