      7. I think we're gonna end up at M12 connectors for sensors and flying pigtails for motors

  2. Voltage Regulator

    1. Most of the time will be spent sleeping. A low quiescent current, then, is actually more important than live current, perhaps?
    2. TLV1117-33IDCYR would work but emits 4.35W at 500mA - thermals need looked into for this.
    3. TPS629210DRLR is also good. Just need 2 resistors and an inductor as well. Good cost. Probably better.
