Fasten your components and wiring and you're in pretty good shape. If your components face out, you may consider a thin Lexan cover attached with velcro. If they face inside, you may not need any cover at all. You've already got the good advice not to leave your main breaker vulnerable to balls and touchy-feely other robots. (Alliance mates can bump into you as easily as opponents!) If it faces inside, make sure it's easy to get to, and you label the best spots to reach it from.
You can learn a lot from past robot designs. Do a Google image search for FRC robots, and FRC electronics. You'll get an idea for what other teams have (and have not) done to protect theirs.
