The Vex web site says that they use 1/8 npt fittings. So you should use 1/8 npt to 1/4 tube. Lots of choices. We use Automation Direct fittings. Buy them with your voucher.
These are not for the same cylinder. These are 10-32 fittings for the 3/4" bore cylinder used to actuate the shifting mechanism in the Ball Shifter gearboxes. The cylinder in the Versadrop modules is a bigger 32mm bore that uses 1/8" NPT fittings, per the “Product Info” tab on the Versadrop page.
Make sure if you order the 1/8" NPT x 1/4" tubing connectors from Automation Direct, that you actually get what you ordered. I used the voucher and ordered 10 each of the 1/8" NPT x 1/4" tube straight and 90 fittings, and even though the bags were marked correctly, we got 1/4" x 1/4". Now we have to return them, explaining they are wrong, even though the bags are printed correctly. grrr…
As nice as Festo is, they’re hard to find, and quite pricey. Bimba’s Pneumadyne fitting line is alright, but the plastic they’re made of is intended for lighter duty applications. I’d go with Norgren’s C series instead, they are a lot more durable, and the straights feature an internal hex, which is a fantastic tool.
