On Neophyte, I've also made a small HDPE flap held on with tape on one side so it can stick to the armour, but still be opened & closed easily by hand. Blacksmith hit the cap with it's axe during one fight, taking the cap off, but in the process saved the link itself (I wasn't using the cable tie method then).
Regarding specific placement, I'd personally recommend placing it somewhere towards the middle or the back of the bot, making it as difficult as possible for an opponent to reach. I wouldn't worry too much about random knocks taking it out, as long as the connectors have a good grip you should be fine.
