Although i agree that polycarb is way better for robotics applications then acrylic (easier to drill, stronger, wont break anywhere as easily as acrylic) i disagree about keeping the electrics together on one board.
Although it is a good practice to keep leads for battery and leads going to the motors as short as possible, it is not nessacary to keep everything together in one area, many teams choose to spread things out and this works for them, alot of it is personal preferance and/or working with what space and options you have available.
