Veselin,
As an inspector I would really need to see the robot before I would pass on this. On the surface it seems to satisfy the rules but the inspector is there to make sure that the robot is safe to compete and easy for field volunteers to help you run in case of problems. I wouldn't expect an automatic pass on this at any or all competitions you attend. (what passes at one event may not pass at another) I always recommend color coding wires, and we use color coding tape on everything including PWM cables, speed controllers, wires, motors and circuit breakers.
