Re: Electrical Connectors
We used masonite pegboard to mount the electrical system (the kind you'd use in your garage for tool storage). It's cheap, light, nonconductive, has plentiful holes, and is strong enough if you provide it with adequate support and protect it from direct impacts. I've been using it for four years with two teams, and have never had a structural failure, even with the robot taking some fairly hard hits.
We use ty-wrap for speed controller mounting and wire bundling, and screws for the heavy parts like the cRIO and the PDB.
We've been using the more normal hardware store quick disconnects, but I'm considering a move to the Anderson powerpoles for next season.
