Re: [FTC]: Using Anderson Connectors for wiring.
So, the ruling states the we can use up to 30Amp Anderson Connectors. I can't believe there is anywere near this much current running through an FTC robot. The 15 Amp connectors greatly reduce the bulk of these connectors. The contacts are universal between the 15 and 30 Amp connectors, so you can use the larger 16 gage contacts for the folded over wire and still install them in the 15 Amp connectors.

Does anyone see a reason not to use the 15 Amp connectors?
