Re: Spining wires? cRIO mounting?

Rules 44 & 45 cover the use of wire on the robot. For example, there's this:
The branch circuit may include intermediate elements such as COTS connectors, splices, COTS flexible/rolling/sliding contacts, and COTS slip rings, as long as the entire electrical pathway is via appropriately gauged conductors.

A search of the rules reveals nothing to say that twisting the wires is illegal.
