Re: Ribbon Cable
I don't have a source, but I share your pain.

I love ribbon cable and have used it successfully in many applications (on FIRST robots, as a hobbiest at home, and in my day job).

I think Bob and Tony and the IFI gang have a different view of the world. If used in the wrong application or abused, ribbon cable can be the source of very tricky to solve intermittent connections.
