Re: 16 gauge solid core vs 14 gauge solid core (and Wago connectors)

Solid wire is for houses, for a very good reason - metal fatigue. Since houses do not move or vibrate, solid is Vine. In machinery you almost never use solid as the vibrations will cause the wires to crack, the same as any metal that flexes. Robots vibrate more than most machines.
