It is just "good enough."
We align the plates (using a mating gear + eyeballs) and then clamp them with c-clamps before riveting.
These are aluminum gears, and we figured they'd wear in happy.
Again -- we were surprised how well this worked. We were expecting more hassle... but... it just works.

Robots aside, how we handle these situations, communicate with one another, resolve differences and potential conflict, and overcome obstacles defines us all as people. Remember the big picture and have fun. - Rich Kressly [more]
