[ConKbot of Doom]

I know this isn't probably the best method (the 4awg method sounds a lot better in fact...) but in a spot last year we were getting the bot ready for a presentation to get a sponsor, and it turned out that a splice in one of the 6awg, was just 2 battery lugs bolted together, and one of the lugs was coming loose.

Well I decided that soldering it was probably the best solution right then. So I pulled the battery lugs off (rather easily I might add :-/ ) spread the wire out a bit, meshed the two pieces together, and soldered the joint with a propane torch (a full sized one not a mini one, big ol 12" flame on that sucker)

For last minute work it came out nice, I would be more confident in that than the battery lugs. For some reason I have an immense disliking for non-soldered joints. Maybe it is just all the hobby electronics I do...
