Yes! You can see it through the holes in the square tubes at the back of the robot.
Use one of the two bottom holes for the threaded rod. Gravity and the inside corner of the square tube will help everything line up. The oval cutouts aren't just to save weight, but also provide access into the tube to help align the threaded rod when assembling/disassembling.
This square tube + plate + roll pins + threaded rod assembly is one of my favourite "little-things" that our Design and Manufacturing sub-teams do.

She doesn't actually mean "ALWAYS". ::safety::
I think Dean and Woodie have a pretty good idea of when they need safety glasses and when they don't.
