One of our off-season projects for electrical is to find better connectors for the sensors.

The TechnoKats Lunacy robot had an electrical/controls box that was completely separable from the rest of the robot. All of the sensor signals went through a single DB-25 connector. We occasionally used a long extension cable to connect the box to the robot during software development.
