The best metrics are your own. Do you see the impact of your efforts in your community? Do you feel like you should/could have won Chairman's, but another team was even more deserving? That's how you know FIRST is really working. - dcarr [more]

Definitely! In fact, I would consider using those gusset/bracket/plates instead of the standard blocks for the AM frame almost solely so you could use 1/4" rivets!

Switching to rivets would probably save 2-4 pounds from that frame... in my rough estimation, at least! :-)
