As far as the ground wire goes, no. For FRC robots it works but FTC robots not as much. It's actually posted in the forum as something that is not legal.

Thanks! we will investigate.
However, in our case the motor controllers are mounted on plywood, which in turn is attached to Lexan sheets forming the sides of the robot - no direct connection to the frame. I should check the wiring... maybe hide all wiring inside a sleeve.
