Extending IR board connector wires

I assume everyone will be putting the IR received near the top of their robot. What type of connectors are you doing to use? Possibly DB9 (Serial) or would an RJ-45 network extensions? Running multiple PWM cables to the IR board doesn't seem like a good idea.

I'd like to put this connector either inside the tubing of the robot or protected by the robot PIC controller due to the potential for knocking off loose pieces in this years game.

Good Luck!
