Looks nice... my experience with VEX parts... particularly the spacers... is that they tend to vibrate loose fairly easily. I'm sure if this is a problem that you will discover it during testing and solve it, if you haven't accounted for it already.

Yes, it looks very tidy right now. We're shooting for a very tidy electrical board. Right now it only has 4 victors for our arms. The victors for the drive will be right next to the motors they work with.

And I see two lexan panels. What is the purpose of this?

More victors or spikes will go on the lower level. We have two levels in order to maximize horizontal space, while we have plenty of vertical space within the chassis frame (see this picture).

what worldbringer meant to say is that the second level is reserved for the speed controllers and spikes allowing easy access to them and the larger parts are down below. We currently look like we are going to be adding a combination of spikes and victors up to 3 or 4 more to the existing 4 that are just for the drive system.

Which number loctite? I have heard of teams melting spacers before with the wrong kind.
