Is this really the case? Doesn't IFI or some other F.I.R.S.T associated distributor have these cables already pre-made?

As far as we know, if teams want to have additional battery cables, there isn't a source for the complete cable assembly as was in the kit. Rather, teams do indeed need to purchase their own Anderson Connectors, cable, and terminal lugs.
For the red Anderson SB50 Connectors, we've had good success with "Helmar Parts," who sells these connectors for about half the price of any of the typical robotics suppliers: http://www.helmarparts.com/product_p/6331g1.htm
Who would have thought that lift trucks would use these connectors?
