In the past 6 years Team 1501 has used over 10,000 rivets.
Last years robot had over 2000 rivets
To say we know rivets would be an understatement.
We use a method called Monocoque (french for "One Skin"). Most of our robots do NOT hanve an internal structure. It is all bent aluminum. We use mostly .040" sheets. We have used T6 aluminum before also.
Anyone want to learn Monocoque? If so, e-mail me and I will get you a CD on how to do it.
