Secondly, be very careful about reccomending loctite. Know your application and the type of loctite so that you can guage the reaction. Test on a sample (NOT ON THE ROBOT) to ensure compatability.
*note* I believe that Loctite is a good idea for this application, but please make sure that the type of loctite you use is compatable with the plastics and vynal wire coverings.

You are correct. Maybe not everybody knew but then not everybody reads the rules, updates and email blasts. I will be more careful on my wording in the future. FYI from update #14
"We would like to remind teams that the Allen-Bradley terminal blocks are required per the
Power Distribution Diagram. If you did not put them on your robot please be sure to bring
them with you to your events.
Furthermore, we’ve gotten feedback that the screws may
become loose with vibration. We recommend that you periodically re-tighten the screw
terminals to prevent any connectivity issues." (I added the color and bold type)
Purple loctite seems to work well but does not make it difficult to undo or re tighten.
