You know, the rules are very useful--and so is search. Doing a search led me to a reference to the following:

The EX18-12 Battery must use the Anderson Connector. The connector must be attached with either the copper SLU-35 lugs provided in the Terminal Supply Bag or appropriate crimp-on lug connectors. The Battery terminals and the connecting lugs must be insulated with shrink tubing and/or electrical tape. You may use additional lengths of #6 red and #6 black wire to reach the panels as needed to make the above connections. The circuit breakers must be readily accessible for inspection and testing at each competition event.
It's legal.
