At Arizona some team's robot caught on fire (a few people thought it was part of the show). That's why you need to have a good electrical system. We have 8 guage finely stranded to everything that supplies current to the drive motors and 4 guage welding cable on our battery and to the breaker. We also have a huge ground terminal block for the drive motors and we use a connector rated for 200 Amps on our battery.
