I had not seen these before. They look like a great alternative to pwm cables. However I don't see much of a need for them unless they were to become a standard connector on most FRC products. Great if you are joining 2 cables (such as at a joint or turret for quick removal). However if you dont have the latching socket on say the roborio, it just becomes a standard PWM with an extra piece of plastic.

I would love to see something like this become a standard.
