Re: URGENT ASSISTANCE!

jd,
The 6 gauge wire will drop some voltage for every inch of wire. The extent of this drop is dependent on how much current your robot draws during play. It is highly recommended to keep this as short as possible. That is inches, not feet, if possible. I had hoped that teams would take away from the 12" rule (R5) that they should keep the wires on the batteries no longer than 12".
