Re: Power distribution

Those appear to be pro lighting (stage) connectors. If they are, then yes, they would be capable of the currents and voltage on the robot. However, they are large and heavy as they are intended to carry large loads and high currents (as well as high temperatures). From the standpoint of this year's game, the vibrations encountered would put some stress on the connections to the pins in these connectors. You will also need to insure that the connectors will not separate and expose the pins during operation. There are other, more suitable connectors but I am not sure they are available in your country.
