+1 for this. With the right tools to crimp them and the ability to slot them together into harness blocks, they are my go-to for this application.

We plan on using Lever Nuts to connect our wires. They're cheap in bulk, don't require special tools, stay locked, and are reusable. They can also hold up to a lot of abuse.

Good point on the amp rating, but yes--these things are fantastic for fast hookups. I wired an entire robot that ran NeveRest motors with them once, and they held fast through me dragging a motor, drill gearbox, and omniwheel web along behind me. 10/10 would drag again.
(Full disclosure: I work at AndyMark, which sells both.)
