Electrical Quick Connections for Large Amounts of Wire

Over the past two years, the robot our team builds has had two main pieces: drive train and mechanisms that go on top of the drive train. However, the system for connecting all of the pieces together has always been a massive bundle of wires going up and down a main strut. This means that to take off a component from the mechanism, a massive bundle of wires needs to come undone, and subsequently, redone.

I have seen a lot of teams that use other types of connectors, but I do not know how to start implementing this process. The main question: What are some of the main ways to connect electronics for ease of disassembling and reassembling the robot?
