I don't know about that. Lots of teams seem to have been able to develop a self-contained "electrical box" module that holds everything except the motors and sensors. We haven't gone quite to that level yet, but our drivebase last year was designed to give us a large, flat area inside it for the electrical components. We actually wired most of the 'bot a week before the drivebase itself was ready, and we built a duplicate electrical "floor" for our planned practice 'bot at the same time.
