A couple of closely related questions:
- The rules say "Motor power, power and encoder wires may be extended by splicing additional lengths of wire" (R14<c>). Does anyone know if it allowed to just replace one of the wires (say, the power wire to the switch) with your own one - of course, of required AWG rating.

- The document about using PowerPole connectors specifically warns that you should NOT tin the wires. This is news to me: I have always tinned the wire end going into the screw terminals on motor controllers - it makes it so much easier to get in the hole. Any comments on this? Is there a real danger of the wire heating so much that the solder will melt?
