Re: Frame?

Welding is a good option IF you have access to it. as well if a well breaks at competition for any reason you have no way to quickly re weld and get your robot up and running again. I would highly encourage having a back up pre planned for any issues in your frame.

The next best option this year will probably be Gussets with 10-32 bolts through. With rivets and gussets you have the ability to determine which rivets or even bolts shear and replace the part with a larger bolt, or replacing the rivet with a small bolt.

with the amount of abuse that I see coming from defenses so far a very strong frame is going to be necessary this year in order to prevent bots from breaking every match.
