Re: Is Welding Worth It?
We outsourced the welding of our shooter together to a sponsor for the first time ever because rivets couldn't handle the stress of the ball being shot over and over again, leading to a weaker shooter. We riveted the gussets/metal together, then took it to our sponsor and they welded it for us, and we didn't have any problems. It was definitely worth it. If none of your team has had welding experience and is very confident, i would recommend taking it to get it welded.
