We used Versa Frame last year and love the way it allowed for not only prototyping but also for our actual robot.
For those teams that are using rivets, you may want to look into using Clecos. Check out this link here:

. These will allow you to use an existing hole or pattern not only to drill or to rivet. We have used these for several years to assist with mounting bumpers as well.
