Does the effector plate need to be ballanced?

Hi,
I am working on a cyclops mount, and the way i have designed it will mount to one side of the effector plate. Should i add weight to the other side to make the effector balanced or does it matter?

Nope.

As long as the platform is level, and the whole thing isn't heavy enough to flex the rest of the system, its movement is fully constrained by the arms.
