Also, in addition to the other things zim2411 said, the drive motor for our arm lifter fits in between the layers of the electronics boards. We could have put the upper board directly on top of the highest point of the lower one, but then the motor/gearbox would have to be moved up. Aesthetics get sacrificed for keeping the center of gravity low.
