Re: FIRST, if you listen to one suggestion this year, let it be this one
At Bayou, we checked our wires on and we ended up putting in some Loctite. I was against it, but after a mentor showed me how loose some of the wires were I said anything was better than nothing, and so we gave it a go. Well, none of the wires popped out to my knowledge and the drive team didn't have to tighten them after we put in the Loctite so I was satisfied. It works...but I'll get to do a better electrical inspection come Thursday at Lone Star and be even more sure!
Do I see it as necessary? No, but FIRST has their reasons I assume and now I know about ferrules and have all summer to think of new ways to keep wires in! Make this your off season project if you don't have one and than you won't have to worry about how to make wires stay in tight next year.
