Is riveting that much better?

For the past two seasons we've used good ol' fashioned nuts and bolts to keep the bot together. After the second regional, our bot got pretty roughed up and nuts start coming off or becoming loose.
I was wondering how many teams have been using rivets to keep their bot together and if so, did you use them for the whole bot? Did they perform well?
Also, is it really final when you fasten the bot together with rivets or is it relatively easy to remove them if mistakes were made or adjustments are needed?
