In 2007, we almost caught fire at championships. A brand new mentor stepped in to re-crimp wire from a Victor 885 burn-out and used a 14-AWG connector for a 10-AWG wire. The result was both a poor connection and a constant rubber burning smell. Luckily I was poking around in the robot resetting our ramps after the next match and saw the gigantic hole in the wire insulation. We replaced the wires completely.

The next year we moved to mini Anderson blocks on all connectors; haven't had a single connector-related issue since.
