I see all these people complaining about the FIRST game having perverse penalties for playing defense...then we play without defense, and still people complain. - MrForbes [more]

Re: Cutting and stripping battery cables

At work and for FRC, I use a utility knife and cut about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the insulation, all the way around. This is to avoid cutting the copper strands (we mainly use the high-strand count stuff at work). I then bend and flex the cable at the cut, causing the remaining insulation to rip. The unwanted insulation can then be twisted and pulled off.
