Ryan,
That still places a lot of material in close proximity to the antenna which will detune it. Placing a critical component under the chassis still subjects it to the odd chance that it will be damaged when you roll over a part dropped by another robot. Protection is still a top priority of devices that will shut down the entire robot.
