One thing I would do is use toughbox Nanos instead of the fullsize toughboxes. That would allow you to drop the CIMs down further and give you more space. Then put electronics and the battery up above, and some fans down below.

I considered this, and it would have been a more graceful solution, but I really wanted the slightly-higher gear ratio.

I've only seen one FRC robot with a truly modular electronics board in my life, and I didn't like what I saw. Instead of focusing on consolidating my electronics into one neatly-organized board, I'd much rather prefer to think about (1) reducing the number of required connections-- and therefore potential failure points, (2) reducing the sum of the wire run distances, and (3) allowing more than one type of maintenance activity to occur at once on the same robot.
