Electrical Connectors

With a desire to keep several of our robots past the season for demonstration...but the high cost of supplying each with a complete control system...I want to suggest that the team design and build a "modular" control unit this season with the Creo, sidecar, power distribution board, jags, and spikes. We could then modify the previous robots to accept this module and be able to switch it back and forth. They would need some kind of multi-conductor plug and jack system - and I haven't had much luck with reliability. Is anyone doing something like this? What kind of connectors are you using?
