Re: Ribbit Rivet...

I am skeptical, since tightening an accessible bolt only requires positioning the tools and making a turn or two. This could only be faster if you have a lot of nice sharp 1/4" bits around and the nut or bolt head is positioned such that it's highly difficult or impossible to reach. Rivets are definitely faster for blind assemblies.

... Upon further examination of the kitbot frame (57 has yet to use it) just about every nut on there looks difficult to reach even on first assembly with nothing in the way. So I can actually easily believe that rivets are more maintainable for the kitbot. Plus, it's not like there's not a ton of places to put in extra rivets for good measure. I'll be considering this now...
