Re: Monobolt rivets on FRC applications

Any issues with corrosion when using a steel rivet on an aluminum frame? If so, how long does it take to become an issue? Just curious when to retire use of older robots from "playing defense" against newer robots.

I'll note that the #1 reason our rivets have repeatedly failed in the past (2010 frame, 2012 arm, 2013 wheels) is due to an incorrect drill bit size when drilling the initial hole (less common) or when replacing a failed rivet at competition (more common).
