[DFTF] Motor & wires...

This is part of a series of posts called Drinking From The Firehose on getting Dr Joe back up to speed on All Things FIRST.



Today's topic: Connecting wires to motors such as the BB, FP or AM motors in the kit.

My bias is to solder the leads, loop the motor wires back toward the can of the motor, then tie wrap the wires around the motor can as a strain relieve (and I would probably put in on a set of Anderson Powerpole connectors, but more on that in another thread).

But others have suggested using female spade connectors - crimping the connector to the wire and then just pushing the connector on the motor terminal.

What is the collective wisdom of the folks on CD as to the way to connect to them?

Pros, Cons, Pro Tips, pictures, anecdotes... ...give 'em to me.
