Go to Post I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

Re: Rivets: Sizes and Materials

Mostly 5/32" and 1/8", of course it depends on the materials being riveted, and where it is on the robot. Much of the stuff we do with rivets is connecting gusset plates to tubes, generally 1/16" thick. Thicker materials get bigger rivets. We seldom find a need for 3/16" rivets, and have never used 1/4" rivets. We also use a lot of #10 and 1/4" screws and bolts, mostly where stuff needs to be disassembled.
