We have used PVC pipe in most of our robots over the years and I agree it is amazingly strong and flexible. However the fittings are a different story and are quite brittle and weak. Also I have concerns about the lower connection where the PVC pipe is clamped by a set screw in the Kee flange. This is one time when I hope I am wrong, because it would be a bummer if the goals keep breaking.
