Gussets
"Too much structure isn't a good thing." - Nobody Ever*
Gussets are used to connect pieces of metal that may not have been possible beforehand. Not only that, but they also serve as a great way to strengthen your robot's joints.
VEX V5 gussets come in a variety of shapes and angles, to ensure that your robot will be as structurally sound as possible when it hits the competition floor.
*VEX Robotics acknowledges that too much structure can sometimes be a detriment.
