Question joining fiberglass?

Our team was considering fiberglass for this years robot. We are a third year team and have used extrusion for the past two years. We decided to use aluminum square 1x1 tubing for our drive train. But for our manipulator we were thinking of using fiberglass to keep our center of gravity low. We have never used fiberglass before and we were wondering as to specifically how to join fiberglass square tubing (from mcmaster's) together since we could not weld it like aluminum. Any help on fiberglass would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
