Re: [DFTF] Anderson Powerpole Connectors...

I have had issues before of certain pins in certain housings not making contact at times if the housings came slightly apart, and in RC cars I've had them pull apart often just from impact of landing from jumps. However, you can zip tie the two sides together.

We use them and like them for our FRC robot. Our whole superstructure is removable by 4 bolts, one large 4x2 Anderson Powerpole assembly, and a DB9.
