We used a similar system in 2012 but drilled each hole by hand on our drill press and cut every gusset on a bandsaw. This seems like a much easier option.
I was planning on just having people drill the holes out. #10 screws and 3/16" rivets are a better size for FRC IMO, but I'm glad that VP is giving people choices. It's a ton easier to drill out than to figure out some way to use a smaller fastener for an application where it may not be the right choice.
