There is no FRC rule about placement...








...but there is also this little thing known as common sense. Why would you place a rather expensive electronic component right next to a bunch of rotating parts that could damage it? Personally, that's asking for trouble. Think of the possibilities...
--gear tooth snaps off and lands in the Jag.
--gearbox shakes under a sudden heavy load, shaking off the Jag.
--rotating shafts grind through the bottom casing of the Jag.

See what I'm getting at here?
