They are new to me this year but 1058 has used them occasionally in the past. With a more compact design this year we started using them on our drivebase since getting a wrench on the inside of the drivebase was tough with the electronics. Once we started using them we started using them just about anywhere we would have used a nut.

No issues so far this year with how rough the game is. We've broken wheels and bent axles but the Riv-nuts in the drivebase are still intact.

They are really nice because with three allen keys we can take apart most of the robot and have less hardware than normal.

Very very cool. Those pictures were exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure these would have come in handy in MANY situations over this past season for my team. We use bolts with lock nuts a lot; pretty much whenever we don't use rivets. We have the wrench issue a lot, so this would help in those hard to reach places. Thank you for sharing this, I'll have to ask our mentors to get some!
