You're correct that you can no longer drag a wire. FIRST determined that the benefit was minimal. Not sure why they banned it.

The next best suggestion is to use the USB Surge Protector listed on page 17 of the FTC Robot Wiring Guide. If you haven't looked at this guide, it's available on the Team Resources page.
