How about the connection between the complete elevator assembly and the drive train. As seen in 254's 2011 design, the elevator system was nicely supported with gussets that served as their minibot deployment system. But, looking at 973's Emporer Swerve, they have very small plates keeping the elevator upright.
Do you have any advice on how much support is necessary on this connection?
