They may not have the tools to make their own pwm wires. And for the can wires, you cant splice them back together, so I imagine they want to keep the original length for future use to save money. All teams want to save money, but for Hawaii teams, you are looking at about 50$ for shipping of a 10$ order. and if you want next day shipping which will take 3-4 days to actually arrive, its about 110$ for that 10$ order of parts.

either way the board looks good. Much cleaner than what we have. Cant wait to see the board and robot in person at Hawaii Regional.
