A collapsible truss assembly is described herein. One component includes a layered u-bracket including a first u-bracket connected to the collapsible truss assembly, having a first channel, a first surface opposing the channel, and a first aperture that spans from the first surface to the first channel and is of a particular diameter. The layered u-bracket also includes a second u-bracket having a second channel, a second surface opposing the second channel, and a second aperture that spans from the second surface to the second channel and is of the particular diameter. For the layered u-bracket, the second channel is flush with the first surface, and the first and second apertures are aligned.

1. An assembly, comprising: a first truss member;a first u-bracket, having a first channel, a first surface opposing the channel, and a first aperture that spans from the first surface to the first channel and is of a first diameter;a second u-bracket having a second channel, a second surface opposing the second channel, and a second aperture that spans from the second surface to the second channel and is of the first diameter; anda connecting member,wherein the first channel is entirely flush with the first truss member, the second channel is flush with the first surface, the first and second apertures are aligned, and the connecting member connects the first u-bracket, the second u-bracket, and the first truss member together, andwherein the first u-bracket and second u-bracket are fixedly attached to the first truss member by the connecting member, and wherein the first truss member is part of a pivotal x-joint, which is adapted to include a second truss member, a third u-bracket, and a fourth u-bracket fixedly attached together by the connecting member. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a longitudinal length of the first u-bracket is greater than a longitudinal length of the second u-bracket. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a thicknesses of the first u-bracket is less than or equal to 1.5 millimeters and a thickness of the second u-bracket is less than or equal to two millimeters. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first u-bracket and second u-bracket support the first truss member, the first u-bracket includes a same material as the truss member, and the second u-bracket includes nylon. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the pivotal x-joint is at a longitudinal midpoint of the truss member and wherein the assembly includes accordion-type truss connections. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the second u-bracket includes an annulus portion that extends perpendicular to the second surface and is defined by an inner wall located a first radial distance from the aperture and an outer wall located a second radial distance from the aperture. 7. The assembly of claim 6, wherein at least one of the inner wall and the outer wall of the annulus portion have a circular geometry. 8. The assembly of claim 7, wherein: the outer wall of the annulus portion has a circular geometry; andthe inner wall of the annulus portion has a polygonal geometry configured to secure the connecting member having the polygonal geometry. 9. An assembly, comprising: a first truss member, including a portion of the first truss member having walls formed from a first material;a second truss member, including a portion of the second truss member having walls formed from the first material;a first solid internal support body situated within the portion of the first truss member; anda second solid internal support body situated within the portion of the second truss member, wherein: the first internal support body includes an outer surface that is substantially flush with inner surfaces of the portion of the first truss member;the second internal support body includes an outer surface that is substantially flush with inner surfaces of the portion of the second truss member;the first internal support body includes a first number of ribs surrounding a latitudinal-vertical plane of an exterior of the first internal support body;the second internal support body includes a second number of ribs surrounding a latitudinal-vertical plane of an exterior of the second internal support body;the first and second internal support bodies are formed from a second material; andthe first and second truss members and the first and second internal support bodies are attached together in an x-joint configuration by a connecting member passing through a first aperture and a second aperture in the first truss member, a third aperture and fourth aperture in the second truss member, a fifth aperture in the first internal support body, and a sixth aperture in the second internal support body. 10. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the first material is aluminum and the second material is nylon. 11. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the connecting member passes through, in order: a first wall of the first truss member;the first elongate body;a second wall of the first truss member;a first wall of the second truss member;the second elongate body; anda second wall of the second truss member. 12. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the first number of ribs include the outer surface of the first internal support body that is substantially flush with inner surfaces of the portion of the first truss member and the second number of ribs include the outer surface of the second internal support body that is substantially flush with inner surfaces of the portion of the second truss member.
