The big thing I was concerned about was making sure everything would stay where we wanted it. That's why we went with the wire way this year versus Zip Ties and anchors. Wire way gives us more freedom in adding or removing vs. having to cut or leave loose the zip ties and have saggy wires. No one likes saggy wires.

The PDP, Breaker, and gyro are bolted on to the panel, the wire way is adhesive backed, and everything else is attached via velcro.

I also think it needs to be the right design to go vertical. This years robot design made it the obvious choice for us.
Thank you, and everyone else who helped explain the benefits, I think that is more than enough for my team. Thanks, and good luck at competition!
