Re: Flat 12AWG Wire Legal?
Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. There is nothing illegal with this wire being used on the robot. While it is not color coded and can be used on the output of controllers, there must be some marking on it indicating polarity. I am often cautious of using "audio" wire as many companies over state specifications. What may be termed #12 may in fact merely act similar to #12 in this application. Robot wire specifications are taken from the NEC handbook for open (not in conduit or confined spaces) wiring. Another thing I would consider when looking at this wire is it's survivability on a moving robot. Bends over structural metals could breakthrough the outer cover exposing the conductive material inside.
