When we used the standard cable last year, it worked ok. The biggest disadvantage was that it tended to get in the way during assembly and troubleshooting. Our electrical team planned right then and there (during regional competition) to make our own cable for this year. We were excited to see the ribbon cable in the KoP. So you can imagine how disappointing it was that our cable was backwards. Fortunately, the team picked up on it quickly and was able to fix it before we had major problems or much time wasted.
Anyway, you'll probably have no problems using the old cable. Good luck!
