Not really. The bottom two screws are externally accessible, and only the top two are combined with standoffs.

Im a bit confused with the standoffs. I've never had experience with these kinds of gearboxes. I see respected teams such as 254 use some pretty large standoffs, and some teams use smaller ones. Would there be any issues with rocking if the standoffs are too small?

And I agree the left and right standoffs are unnecessary, I've made changes accordingly.
