I think I saw some rivets... Anyway I want one. I think it is more than we are allowed to spend on an FRC bot though...

There are lots of rivets but the welded seams on the front and rear fenders in particular are quite impressive imo. WRT the rear fenders, you can see the use of several holes to enable clecos to hold the panels tight while welding the seam.

I didn't mean to imply there wasn't welding. I still want one. Or a GT-40, 917...
