Motor wire sizes

Does anyone know the official rule for wire sizes to the motors? The black Atwood motors have 16G wire on them. Do we really have to use 10G wire to extend to the speed controllers?

We want to solder wires directly to the drill motor and fisher price motor leads. 10G wire is very stiff and in my opinion overkill for the application. We want to use 14 or 16 G.

Does anyone know what FIRST will be inspecting for?
