Could you please tell me if this commercially available plastic rivet shown in the picture can be used as a compliant construction material for robots in the junior and senior high school categories?<R23>

Thanks for your question!

Per rule <R17>, Robots must be built from the V5 System. <R20> lists all of the exceptions to this rule; commercially available plastic rivets are not included in that list, and are not legal for use in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition.
