Yeah, we were origionally thinking about using ribbon cable instead of that cat-5 cable and using 15-pin d-cups designed to snap into ribbon to bring sensor inputs from one side to the other (so that if we wanted to take the robot apart, all we'd have to do is disconnect the d-cups), but we couldn't find any 24awg ribbon that would fit a d-cup, so there went that idea.
