Depending on how they are loaded (i.e. mainly in shear), rivets can absolutely replace bolts. Based on the pattern of gussets on the robot, it almost looks like the robot was designed to be primarily riveted.

Team spirit is not all about the tools/noise makers. The Tigertrons didn't have any sort of noise makers. Consider other aspects of the award by making signs, mascots, cheers, and how you interact with other teams. - team222badbrad [more]
