[DFTF] Anderson Powerpole Connectors...

[Joe Johnson]

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: Anderson Powerpole Connectors

Honestly, I love 'em. My experience is that once you learn how to use them correctly (crimp, install, join into blocks, tie wrap), they are a very reliable and robust method to make connections on a FIRST robot.

Others have other ideas... ...some are violently opposed to using them.

What is the collective wisdom of the folks on CD as to Anderson Powerpole connectors?

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

If you are against them please propose your alternatives.
