Re: [Ri3D] Help BOOM DONE. order stuff

As you are not focusing on the ease of changing a failed component but rather fabrication it may be easier to use connectors the EE's are more familiar/happy with.

We use Anderson connectors and zipwire (also called zipcord or bonded wire) as our go to power solution. It lets us be consistent in crimping tool usage for students and coupled with a ratcheting crimper has significantly reduced our issues with bad contacts.

If you use Anderson connectors on every motor/controller set each set uses 4 connectors and 8 contacts.
