Thanks for the compliment, she won't be repeating the feat this year though. Our design doesn't call for much drilled extrusion and we have a sponsor with a laser cutter.
But for teams looking for a nice way to build robots in a small shop, I would highly recommend this method. The holes don't have to be perfect to be useful, just close enough. We used a 13/64 drill bit so it's a clearance hole for a #10-24 and small enough for a 3/16" rivet. We did it all on a cheap Ryobi Drill Press. Most people don't believe it when we tell them it was done by hand.
