Through it all, the riveter stayed in the bottom of our tool cart.

Granted, all of this was with bumpers on our front and sides; we left them out of the corners and the back for various reasons. It would be nice to give this robot a few more events before declaring it a total success, but I'm quite satisfied right now.
2106's gun stayed in the bottom of the chest as well. not a single loose rivet. Now if we could find a way of riveting chains to the sprockets...

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
