Sometimes, COTS is not the way to go. I know, that's a radical idea. But sometimes, COTS just doesn't fit your needs, and won't be readily adaptable to them either. Which is why most teams like to have some form of machine shop handy...

This may go without saying, but I would heavily recommend against Lowes brand steel gussets. Our team used some in our offseason event to attache part of our new super structure and they bend completely out of shape in our first match with them. Anything Vex thickness or above aluminum should do the trick.
