This picture shows the electronics on the practice bot. Granted the wiring job is rather disorganized, but we do not use a ribbon cable on the DSC, we use a different type of cable as shown because we find they have far less issues than ribbon cables. It's still possible that this cable could be the source of issues, but not the kinds most teams with ribbon cable issues encounter.
We used a (old KOP?) round type db37 cable like the one in your picture, for our first control board, and have seen some glitching problems. I switched to a shorter 1 ft one (not sure where from) for our test drivetrain and haven't noticed the same glitching problems.

Could be related to new cable or not, just my observations.
