Not sure where you are stumbling across those.
Even pvc pipe named 1/4" is coming up with a .540" OD dimension.

I just bought some Oak 1/2" Wooden Dowels for use on ours, and we'll make a custom fitting to attach the 3 poles (2 horizontal & 1 vertical) together with our EXOCYCLE 3D printer we received last year through the FIRST linked donation.

I cringe every time I see the Standard criteria drawing since there really is no fitting to link 3 poles together like the way shown in the "sample".

I also think a lot of teams will (mistakenly) be making their standard out of "1/2in." PVC pipe not realizing it's the ID dimension, and not the required OD dimension.

We shall see...
