Other than that, it all looks legal, as long as the wire sizes are correct.
You may find that you want to have better access to the bottom victors, for debugging and if one of them dies.

Thanks for the response

The RC is facing the front of the robot so I don't think that'll be a problem

we tested the tether and programming port placement and it was a squeeze but it worked, and we have some 90 degree angles lieing around somewhere that we might end up using

we have a remote reset and programming buttons

I kind of just typed this up so I could go of everything you brought up and make sure that I'm not lieing to myself in my head
