At most you can only get a light burn from hot glue and it cools almost instantly. The only thing that is a negative here is that if you need to move electronics or replacing wires, and you often do, you might find that your wires are glued to your robot (who would have thought) While your at it secure down all the PWMs any one of them get pulled, and PWMs have a bad habit of this, and you might lose function of a vital piece of your robot. Zip ties work great and if you don't have a place to mount them the sticky pads are perfect.
