The chassis is not grounded as per the rules, so it would take both a positive wire and a ground wire to both come loose and to both contact the metal to cause a problem.

Our wires are tied so tightly that this would be almost impossible anyways.

Yes, we have 4 end blocks.

Plugging them straight in needs about 3.5" of clearance, as I recall (although there is the option of right-angle serial adaptors to get you out of that problem).

Where does your backup battery sit?
Yes we have allowed enough room for the cables. the robot extends 3 inches past the end of the plate.

The backup battery mounts to a bracket on the side near the rc.... not in this picture.
