We considered using rivets however we had an bad experience with rivets before and decided that bolts are safer. Are pop rivets really suitable to replace 1/4 bolts?
Even 1/4in rivets can be overkill but since rivets are so light it doesn't really matter. My biggest peeve with the kitbot is the 32 nuts and bolts we have to use its like dead weight!

Is your shooter designed to hit the top basket or is it a mid/low?

Overall your redesign looks great! Best of luck to you guys!
