I wanted to get the opinion of other teams who have used APP's in the past about where best and how best to utilize them, IE:
Crimping to end of motor wires?
Crimping straight to motor controllers?
Crimping to a small wire right out of PDB outlets?
Just a few ideas; I'd like to hear how you use them and maybe pictures if you can.

We plan on using them this year, and odds are, we're probably crimping them right to the end of the motor wires. IMO, the two most likely things to fail (that APPs could be used with) would be speed controllers and motors. If a speed controller fails, all you need to do is to unscrew terminals, remove the controller, and replace it. If a motor fails, no matter what you have to take the motors out, so it's easier to just unplug the APPs then having to replace the wire/tape it back onto the motor/solder it back on to the motor.
