Hope this helped!
yes that would be helpful! did you use two layers? im not sure we have the same type of board but ours in kinda thin im afraid it wont support the weight

also, did you mount the battery on the board? its super heavy I wanted to mount it on the side of our robot but im afraid thatll unbalance it
