See, this is the part that I'm a little bit fuzzy on-- I'm well aware that triangles are the (logical) strongest shape to use, but what I'm iffy on is whether there's a significant increase in strength in FRC-specific applications. MY team has always approached it with the view of "we have limited machine time and expertise, and our rectangles haven't broken yet."
We may have to experiment with this during the fall...
