[quote=DampRobot;1232572...you can save a lot of weight up high by changing those bolts to rivets. Changing from bolts to rivets last year saved us upwards of five pounds over the entire robot. And, with a pneumatic rivet gun, rivets are fun to install.[/QUOTE]

I second this. Rivets are lighter, and we too have a pneumatic riveter. Much nicer.
