Believe me, we have considered at great length the use of relays. Mostly because that generally means for us that we would be using pneumatics. We might end up with a relay added for a motor if we can't utilize a servo for a mechanism to raise our lifts.

The wires on the victors are the standard gauge as prescribed by the first rules. We have used it every year without problem.
