Since I hate long loops of cable on the robot, I searched out some short USB cables.

This vendor has 6" and 12" AB USB cables.
I ordered some and they turned up really quickly and look great.

If you want a vendor a little more reliable than ebay, try MonoPrice (www.monoprice.com). 18" USB cables are $0.85 each (less with quantities).
