Arille,
You may mount your controllers anywhere on the robot that you see fit. Please use caution as others have described above and be sure to insulate exposed wiring. Remember that in the heat of battle, other robots may have extensions that unintentionaly will come in contact with your robot. If a robot should come in contact with electrical devices, there is a potential for some serious damage or even loss of power during a match. I frequently have seen teams mount electrical devices where ever they could find space and then cover with Lexan to protect them. I also would caution that the Victors do need to breathe so don't restrict the air flow.
