Re: 14 awg wire on motors
Internally to our team, we not only follow the gauges specified, but try to keep our runs down to 3 to 5 ft (1 - 1.5m). If we go much longer than that for motor wires, we'll bump to the next larger wire. We aren't as picky on signal-level, though we do a few checks to verify that the switches are reliably noted by the 'RIO. This year, we had originally planned to put our control panel at the highest level that our shortest control person could easily work on. However, for CoG reasons, we had put the battery and every motor as low as possible. The board came down.
