Electrical Harness

It seems to me that having a totally detachable electronics board would be a good thing. I am envisioning all of the motors, fans, sensors - anything that is attached to the robot frame - connected to 1 or 2 harnesses. When you want to change out a Victor you simply detach the harness and pull out the electronics board and voila!

Is this a good idea? The problems I see are voltage drop along the connections and heat. What do you think? Thanks.
