We overdid the welding last year, and have almost gone the other way this year. Rivets and bolts. Similar case, worried that a repair on some critical parts that were welded would take us out of the competition.
But we have some interested students so this off season we will be practicing welding.
This was last years frame. Planned on a corner climber that didn't work out due to time and weight. And some of my early aluminum work.
