Re: Self-fabricated electrical connections

If I am interpreting the rule correctly, no. The rule is, and I quote
Quote:
<R40> Additional electronic components for use on the robot must be either COTS items, or assembled from COTS items. Additional electronic components include any object that conducts electricity other than IFI relays and speed controllers, wires, connectors and solder.
Obviously your connector conducts electricity, so it falls under this rule. If you use a #6 gage connector from the hardware store, you are good. But if you make a connector from scratch, it doesn't constitute a "Commercial, Off-the-shelf" component (at least I don't think so). Your best bet would be to run over to the hardware store and spend 15 cents on a crimp-on connector.
