Re: blog; Motor Controller Options for 2015

By the letter of the rule connectors on a motor make it not longer COTS/Reusable, but by the intent of the rule, this entire conversation is beating a dead horse with a level that is unfortunately consistent with all things on ChiefDelphi lately.

I personally commend VEXpro and CTRE on their joint effort to produce this product, and am excited at the form factor and apparent quality, it should have a very positive impact on our wiring layout.

Perhaps they can just have connectors mounted to the motor controllers from the factory or push for a reasonable rule change (about motor leads and connectors on all motors and control hardware).
