We have always used Clip Leads. . . Never had any problem but little worried now. I see your reasoning behind it and will look into switching the connections.
Is there a recommended way from going from #14-16 wire out of the charger to the #6 wire of the connector???

Another subject: Yes, they do check to make sure you use the right wire size in each leg of the circuit. Al Skierkiewicz inspected our robot at the Midwest regional and noticed our wire to be #14 wire instead of #12 wire going all the way up to the top of our towers. We thought we were right according to a rule update but actually we weren't. We ended up spending the 30-40 mins of practice day to change it. FIRST makes the rules so we are SAFE and not going by the manufactures recommended facts. Safety FIRST
