Re: Team update #8

So what happens if a team has already removed their blue wires from the drill motors? We used 8 guage soldered right on there last year and it was fine. If you are careful and good at soldering, you shouldn't have a problem with that.

Besides, that is a really small wire for how much current passes through there at times. Everyone remembers the problems with them desoldering themselves last year.

I'd much rather FIRST made this just an advisory statement rather than a requirement.
