I think it is just a matter of preference,

For us, we still don't know what is "front" and what is "back" on our robot. It is actually quite arbitrary. What you should do is have a switch on your control board and a program that will "swap ends" in the software.

that's exaclty what we are doing. I prefer them in the front of the robot, but if another person driving wants to change that, it's easy.
