1676 had a fully removable electronics board for 2007, I need to find a photo. We won the Motorola quality award at NJ and Buckeye for that. What whytheheckme says is spot on, we used either sub-D connectors or 0.1" headers for the low power connections, and 45 Amp powerpoles for the high power connections, the only exception being the main power & ground which were a big Anderson IIRC.

We gained about a pound in connectors, and maybe 2 pounds of wire (not all of it necessary), but it was worth it when we had to do some maintenance on the banebots trannies - electronics out in 1 minute, back in after 2 minutes.

The connectors were all accessed from the bottom of the robot, while all the equipment was mounted on top. We used a 14" square lexan panel, held down with 2 thumb screws, and lots of wiring channel.
