Electrical / Software test bed

We are looking at building a test bed that would allow us to load code and test various prototype electrical components. We've had a similar test bed that allowed electrical connections but nothing with the software. We're thinking we'll need the follow components:

- battery
- power distribution board
- Roborio
- Talons
- Laptop that would be connected to the Roborio for sending commands
- electrical and ethernet connections

Has anyone built a similar setup? Can anyone think of anything to add onto this or how to improve the basic concept? Planning on putting this together after the season.

cheers,
