Anderson Powerpoles are a gift from god if you asked me. Nothing should replace them.
What do you mean by "self crimping"? Wow. Damm.

Again, I'd like to note that while APPs are internal standards of many FRC teams, they are in no way (to date) an FRC-endorsed standard. That said, if Talon SRXs or Victor SPs were [additionally/alternately] available COTS with APPs on the output (green and white) wires, leaving the red and black as stripped wire ends, 3946 would be sure to buy a bunch expecting to step around the difference between R13 [fabrication schedule, in particular R13-D] and R18 [Witholding Allowance rules] for 2016 and similar rules in recent years.
