Re: pic: 217 entry?
Hmmm, we have been using 1/8" aluminum pop rivets since 1996 on our robots and they work out fine. We just use steel one when we need extra holding strength.
The aluminum rivets make a good mechanical fuse when you want a built-in failure point. When things are likely to break, it is good to design for failure in the right locations such that minimal functionality is lost in the middle of a match and repair is quick and easy.
