Re: [DFTF] Anderson Powerpole Connectors...
I have been using these for about 8 years in FIRST have had very few issues. A couple reasons I have seen teams have issues is that they don't buy a real crimp tool for them, not some generic thing that doesn't do the job, a real one is only like $40. Another issue is they buy generic connectors, real Anderson's are very reliable. The number of times I have had to change a speed controller right before a match have led me to always want to be able to quick change any component so nearly everything has multiple Anderson connectors on it.
They can get expensive but it's completely worth it if it can save a match. If you buy in bulk you can easily get them for under $1 a pair.
