Our team used the rivets mentioned last year on the kit bot frame. They held up well and my subjective feeling is that it was a little stiffer. We borrowed the rivet gun from a local automotive shop. However, I believe that we have about had it with the kit bot frame. We are resource strapped and need an easy frame solution. This year we are planning on using 8020 Quick frame. By using the bumpers, Poly covering, and electronic board as structural elements, the total unit should be good. I made a proto type base and have been abusing it. It's holding up very well. However, I have concerns with the corner connectors. They may not hold up for teams that go to several regionals and off season events. The should be fine for our team's one regional.
