when wiring a motor, it makes things easier if, for instance, all the connections coming off the motor were males, and those going to the speed controller were female, or versa vice.

this makes it easier to switch them if needed, which in the heat of competition is faster than reloading the code to adjust for a drivers preference. also, if you have to take the leads apart or swap out a motor, it prevents you from having the victor running to the victor and burning itself out

just a little tidbit i picked up a while ago, hope it doesnt go to waste
