A lot of USB cables are 24-28 AWG. Per R38, it would need to be 22 AWG.

Also, a lot of those type cables to not strip nicely.

Finally, regarding custom cables: I'm guessing that Andymark has sold 200 of the navX boards, and have another batch arriving soon. If half bought the cable, it might be worthwhile. I know that we would buy two for the two navX boards we have.
