The students decided that the electronics weight isn't that significant. They decided instead of using a long piece of 80/20 extrusion, they would use the electronics board to help support the back of the lift. This is done by having a 90 degree corner bracket attached to the control board and to the back of the lift. The control board would be fixed to the frame with shorter pieces of 80/20 extrusion cut at a 45 degree angle going towards the back of the robot. I'm a picture person below is a crude picture describing it.
