Be EXTREMELY careful with the female connectors, their made to be removed, even if you don't want them, i recommend power pole and solder.

buy a radio shack soldering iron, 35 or higher watts, some solder and a sponge, tin the wire and the tabs (break off the plastic shroud) solder on, cover with heat shrink. if you want it removable put a set of power pole connectors in the line, mcmaster sells them cheap in packs of 5. this is a much better electrical connection and tons more reliable. bad wiring can RUIN even the greatest of robot designs. i also recommend capacitors on the 545/can motors, because they are very noisy.
