I'd love a standardized connector for CAN bus on these robots, but it looks like the folks at CTRE didn't think this was important.

Can we make one? I like those crimp terminals that go into Hirose, Molex, TE or whatever housings, but there are unfortunately about a hundred incompatible types out there.

Suggestions? How do you plan to connect Talon CAN wires to each other?
Our team is using the PWM cable connectors (2 wire) and crimping them on the SRX CAN wires
