I removed the semicolon that snuck into your link

Seems that rivets work better when you use several of them, smaller sized, and on joints that are designed for them. In other words, you kind of have to design the robot around the assembly method...and the kit frame is designed to bolt together. It should hold up ok, but you might want to look at some other riveted robots for ideas for next year.
