Here's a mid-season picture of our wiring. It's pretty cluttered due to our narrow belly-pan and staggered gearboxes, and typical frc hurry. We also have to come up with a better solution for CanBus wire junctions

The PWM header connectors worked their way out fairly often (can't remember if the loose one in the picture was intentional or not). The 1 position housings were especially prone to coming off, and we stopped using them after our first competition, but the 3 position ones were still a problem.
