I've had a good look through the rules; there is a prohibition against "hazardous materials", so maybe use gluten free bread in case the arena marshal is coeliac? You never know. Other than that I think your golden, unless it's really crusty in which case it might fall into the "hardened blades that can shatter on impact" category, especially if it's over-done.

ANYWAY, yes, the extra level to hold the electrical gubbins sounds like a good idea. This is when using CAD to plan the interior can really be useful, compared to drawing stuff in 2D (on a soggy beermat).

Just one thing to watch out for, as well as the convenience of access for maintenance, one of the tech safety checks at events is to inspect the wiring. At our first event it was looked at reasonably closely - presumably since we were complete noobs it was considered prudent to confirm we hadn't hooked up the whole thing with 24 AWG phone cable or something. It's unlikely to cause a major headache, but something to consider - you don't want to be asked to dismantle half the machine 20 minutes before the first fight.
