As others have said, hot glue is really awesome for keeping PWM Cables in Victors.
One of the best methods for doing this seems to be something like this:
- 1) Turn robot on, wait for communication.
2) Verify that all speed controllers are receiving signal, if not, find the problem.
3) Once you've verified that all of the connections are sound, apply a bit (you don't need much) hot glue to the connection at the speed controller.
4) Verify that all speed controllers are still receiving signal.
The method above comes from doing this the wrong way a few times in school. I can remember having to remove hot glued connections a few hours after they were done because no one bothered to check connections prior to gluing. It wasn't too fun, but not all that bad either.
