We would greatly appreciate any help regarding this...

ARe you referring to the 80-20 we used on the shooter/electronics tower? 80-20 has connectors you can buy and we also used carriage bolts (squares right under head)that fit perfectly in the slot to mount the electronics panels. Let me know if you want more information on this and I can ask one of our mentors who know more about this to answer your questions. This is our first year using 80-20, so I am sure there are other teams that have more experience with it than we do.
