The Ultiimate Rivet contest
Since our rookie year (2005) FRC Team 1501 has used 18,313.5 rivets in their 10 competition robots.
In this years Championship rivet contest you must identify the four (4) robots that used a total of (to be revealed at CMP) rivets.
There will be pictures, of all the robots, in our pits.
If you guess correctly you will win a nice prize.
I case of a tie. We will draw one ticket from the winning tickets.
Please only one ticket per person.
Prize will be given away Saturday.
Good luck.

We had a robot where the rivet hole was right over a bolt. We filed down a 1/8" rivet and put it in the hole. It worked.

Sorry, you have to be at the Championship to win.

Re: The Ultiimate Rivet contest
Wayne, I was expecting something different based on your title. E.g., a prize for the robot with the fewest threaded fasteners -- ideally we would rivet EVERYTHING -- but I'd be happy to rivet everything that is not COTS.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: The Ultiimate Rivet contest
Only ONE person put a ticket in so it wasn't much of a contest. They got none right.
