A neat wiring job, is always a sign of good future performance!
The only risk I see in mounting everything like that vertically is with a rather intense hit or bump, if the fuses will stay in place especially over time.
You may want to test that.

Nice bot so far though!
There is a second poly sheet that lays right up against this panel. It serves multiple purposes, one being protection of the fuses popping out.

Thanks for the comments. These kids have come a long way in three years. I am very proud to get the opportunity to work with them.
