Tom, can I ask what your team is doing that is resulting in loose PWM cables? Do you do any sort of cable management or strain relief with zip ties? Could you post some pictures of your setup?

I ask as a fellow beta team. We haven't seen any issues yet and I'm just trying to figure out if it is something we need to be looking at more in depth than we are. I'm not saying the RoboRIO is perfect on this... I think there is a crap ton of wasted space between the pins where something could have been placed to help with strain relief but that being said, we haven't seen any issues with loose cables yet.

We're off to Rumble in the Roads to compete with the beta robot next week so I'm eager to see if this comes up on the field.
