The battery connectors supplied by first should work for most teams with a few caveats...
1. Robots designed such that high currents are provided by the battery most of the time should look to using a different battery connector. (i.e. teams who end up discharging their battery in just one match)
2. If you use the provided connectors, please use a clamp (ty wrap, velcro, etc.) to hold the connector together. They are easily jarred apart.
3. We use Power Pole connector's for battery.
