Re: Two quick questions...

Funny how this is called two quick questions yet its anything but that. OK during the clash our power wires got pulled out from the power connectors (the big copper ones that have a screw to hold the wire). My team leader wants me to solder the cable into the connector but I'm 95% (rough estimate) sure that it would be illegal. Yes the screws were tight and yes we used shrink wrap but as i understand it the cable got yanked right out. Can i get some confirmations on the soldering thing and if anyone knows any rules in specific I would appreciate it. Also if i need to make some PWMs run a good distance (4ft) should i just connect one, with a S bend in the wire so the connector can't be pulled, on to the next? Thanks all.
