Yes, I understand that the joining plates are legal. I see that joining plates are just flat pieces of stock cut in a triangle shape.

But there are other pieces like 'L' shaped angle braces (like you would use for a book on a bookcase, only much smaller, 1/2' x 1/2'), end-to-end & angle connectors (similiar to 90 degreee, 45 degree and straight PVC joints), swivel joints (similar to Kee Klamp swivel joints).

I have seen several teams build their robot carts out of this material, but I don't know if it is legal on the robot itself.
