But it's been shipped so I'll have to think of something at the regional, maybe placing it under the lexan hardbox instead of ontop, or would that not be allowed and or interfere with the signal?

P.S. Thanks for the comments and advice guys, really appriciated

23" cylinder? A typo hopefully, there is no FIRST legal cylinder with a 23" stroke.

Overall it looks like a solid robot, especially for a rookie team

The chain tension looks like it is alright now, but over the course of a regional the chains may stretch a bit, I don't see any tensioners in the picture, that may be something you want to think about.
