Echoing what the other people answering your post have said, that terminal block will work but will take up a lot of space. It is likely that many teams will have an issue with space in their robot, including yours. Those terminal blocks are meant to be clipped onto a DIN rail so you will have to allow extra space on each end for a "keeper" or the individual sections will slide off. Will also have to allow at least an inch for wire routing channels on each side.

The Anderson PowerPoles work well when installed correctly and can be installed in-line so they take up hardly any extra space. I would strongly urge that your team learn how to use these properly and give them another try. Please note that using the Weidmuller terminal blocks will not eliminate your problems if you do not learn how to use them properly. You will just have different problems.

My guess is that the most common problems people have with them is that they don't crimp it properly and the wires slip out or the crimp has a weird shape that prevents the contact from going into the shell properly. Both of these problems can be fixed by using the proper crimping tool (not the same as for other crimp lugs) and by doing a pull test immediately after each and every crimp then having someone else check them. We went from multiple electrical problems to one failure in two years (old battery cable with a bad crimp).
