I'll raise again. Hidden wires are hidden problems. Unless your wires are always perfect every time (and with teenagers, really?), making wires harder to trace will cost you time in troubleshooting when you most need it (e.g. between matches that are only a few minutes apart). Even though we had no power wire faults on last year's robot, and no faults at all at competition (though we did have a few signal level issues on the build site), we still plan to route wires cleanly and visibly upon removal of a couple of clip-on cable run covers.
