It would not be my first choice in design to spread things out, but the tradeoff we make is to maximize power to electrical components and to fit into all the spaces left by mechanical. It is absolutely necessary that the RC, Victors and Spikes be available for replacment, motors are usually part of mechanical assemblies so that any problem in a subsystem cause the entire system to be replaced and analyzed. I cannot take full credit for the color scheme. When the red motor stops turning, you look to the red speed controller, red PWM, red PWM output on the RC, red circuit breaker, red power wiring, etc. It makes trouble shooting the fastest part of pit work, and allows us to easily diagnose an electrical failure from a mechanical one. With this method, repairs can easily be accomplished between rounds, even in finals.
