Hey Team 610 great looking electronics, congrat's..

One suggestion..
though difficult to see perspective in photo..

Appears AL angle on batt terminal side,
if conductive invites a direct battery short
if the tape on terminals wears thru from vibration
or unravels during competition -- big time smoke and dead bot.

Suggest non conductive member to replace conductive
in this critical position.. epoxy board, etc

BTW Kudo's on floating Anderson connectors w/pigtails for effective vibration isolation
(hard mtg to chassis conducts mechanical impact trauma release scenario)

.. RI looking to hasten inspection process, (& more free time!)

Thanks for the heads up Dale.

We saw the issue as well, and ended up also reworking all our batteries to turn the screw terminals facing inwards. There's now much more clearance between the battery terminals and any Al.
