well my understanding of it is kinda like this.
on the robot itself only what came in the kit, or its equilivant when it comes to stuff like ring terminals, spade connectors, ect.
on the operator side of the control system you can use anything you want except for the stuff spacifically listed in the manual (lighted switches, ect...)

But yes I agree that after a wire exits the crimp on the sensor it shouldent be broken untill it ends in the solder cup, or the fuse panel. We did this for the 2 years we compeated and NEVER had a wireing problem.

Oh and the wire nuts (the connectors you just screw onto 2 or more wires twisted together) should never be used for competition, those are designed for building wireing where the wires will never move, not a dynamic system like our robots.
thats kinda a pet peve of myne
