Wiring the VAN Door Motors

I am trying to wire the Van Door motors to the speed controllers, and have run into a slight confusion. It's not really a big problem, but anyway. The table on Page 7 of The Robot in the manual, which gives suggestions on what gauge wire to use on what parts, says that the Van door motors should be wired with 10 gauge wire. Even the diagram on page 6 reads 10 gauge for the Van doors. The only problem is that the manufacturers of the van door motors have used 16 gauge wires.

So I'm wondering if I should use 16 gauge or 10 gauge to connect the motors to the speed controllers. Does it matter at all?
