1. OOPic-R / Dual H-Bridge
Step 1. Remove the middle section of the shelf. Use four 4-40 x 3/8" screws from the bottom and four 3/4" spacers to secure the Dual H-Bridge to the shelf. Make sure that the screw terminal blocks are oriented to the front of the shelf; it has the round power switch hole in it.

Step 2. Align the OOPic-R so that the serial connector is pointing out toward the back of the shelf, and use four 4-40 x 1/4" screws to hold it in place.

Step 3. You can tuck the Scorpion away in the body where the motors are; just be careful to not let the exposed pins touch the motors! A little double-sided foam tape should be more than enough to keep the Scorpion in place.
 
An alternate method would be to leave the center panel in the shelf. Then mount the Scorpion there, using whatever method works best for you.
 
Note: A piece of aluminum has been added to the Scorpion in the picture as a heat sink.
