I got tired of 217, 148, 1114 and 254 teaser, so I went looking for robot picture. This is all I could find. Paul, those wheels look illegal.

Hey Raul, I don't know what you're finding so hard. 217, 148, 1114, and 254 pics are just as easy to find as 111 pics ... oh, wait ... never mind

Please note that there is no Team 217 Teaser #4 and don't hold your breath waiting for one. We will show a picture of our robot (full disclosure) after it is wired and looks all pretty.
I can tell you this: our robot has more chrome than the one Raul has pictured in this thread. I can also tell you that we are using 8 motors, 6 encoders, the camera and over 1,000 rivets ....

Re: pic: 217 entry?
We used over a thousand rivets last year...but I think only a couple hundred were on the robot at one time 
Can't wait to see the finished product, Paul!

Probably have about 100 rivets on our bot
But I wish we had more. That tool is far too much fun!

I imagine the attachment in this post would be a good start in verifying Paul's rivet claims.

Knowing 217, it's probably a transformer....don't be alarmed.

Re: pic: 217 entry?
We just use POP rivets. They are cheap, easy to use and have never failed us. We never really considered any other kind because they work for us. To take it one step further, we only use 5/32" aluminum rivets. Their strength and ease of installation / removal are perfect for a FIRST robot.

Re: pic: 217 entry?
Hmmm, we have been using 1/8" aluminum pop rivets since 1996 on our robots and they work out fine. We just use steel one when we need extra holding strength.
The aluminum rivets make a good mechanical fuse when you want a built-in failure point. When things are likely to break, it is good to design for failure in the right locations such that minimal functionality is lost in the middle of a match and repair is quick and easy.

Re: pic: 217 entry?
We use 5/32" due to the fact that our original sheet metal manufacturer didn't want to laser such a small hole (they only had a laser). We compromised on 5/32" (they wanted 3/16").

Hmmm... Maybe AndyMark should sell rivets in bulk next year.

By the way your team didn't happen to find an "extra" set of "Behind the Design" books at nationals did they?
P.S. PM me an address and I will get a Pop-riveter in the mail.
