Electrical Wiring Losses

On our bot, we have the +12 volt wire going from the battery, through the reset-able breaker, to the distribution rail. From there, it goes in one side of a maxi block. A new wire comes out the other side of the maxi block and goes to the small black fuse panel terminal, then a third wires comes off the small fuse panel terminal and goes to our last maxi block.

Are we unknowingly introducing a high amount of transmission resistance by having the multiple connections in our wire run, compared to running individual wires from locations on the distribution block and going directly to each component?
