This year we are laying the battery flat and securing it on three sides with aluminum KOP framing. Multiple Industrial-Grade velcro straps will keep it from moving. Not only will it be easy to change out, but held securely in place well within the bumper zone. Even if we are tipped and it becomes dislodged, it will not come in contact with the electronics.

I'm thinking now though we should add a thin steel safety plate under it to prevent puncture in case we are tipped and another robot slams into it.
