We have an amazing electroshock therapy program that teaches our roboteers to not assemble parts, use tools (expecially power tools) without prior training or reading the instructions.
So I'm going to guess they would do what I did, (since the instructions were not in the box) of googling "3M Link Connectors assembly instructions" and finding the PDF that I did.
Now if I could just get Mentors and parents that want to help out to do the same thing.
On the #19 wire, it's a weird size, I agree. For most of my stuff I use #20 multiconductor (4 flat), so the connectors work with that. The thinner #22 hobby wire may be a problem with loose connections (never tried). On the other hand, you are paying $12,000 for two events, so $20 of good wire does not seem like a huge expense.

You can always leave a slot (connection?) empty. So 3 wires in the 4 wire connector.
