DIY PWM?

So a good question has been brought up and I cant find the answer to it. For our robots (not competition), we have made our own "Y" PWM cables instead of purchasing them.This process is just stripping the wire in the middle and the ends of a cut one, wrapping and soldering them together. Is it legal to use the modified ones weve made on our robot or do we have to purchase PWM's that are specifically made as "Y" cables?

Thanks.
