Re: Riveting for speed

We rivetted our frame together in order to get it welded easily and I know that other teams have used them for their entire robot (without welding) but I can't imagine using them for the bumper attachments. I would be interested to know how they are going to do it, but there are potentially quicker and easier ways to mount bumpers. For our design though - getting inside the frame in order to drill out the rivets to allow the bumpers to be removed will be next to impossible. Having 2-3 bolts to hold them on would be so much easier I'm guessing.
