that little male-male connector that is included would sure come in handy for using a vex controller/signal splitter with other stuff!

I know they function fine regardless of what they are called ( ), but aren't those just breakaway headers?

In any case, it's a creative use of them.

Edit: I apologize in advance if this post sounds "snarky" -- it's not intended to; it's just an observation.

No, they're not breakaway headers, because the pins are long on both sides, not just one. Normal headers have short pins on the side that goes thru the board.

Yeah, I just noticed that on Jameco, thanks.

Just take break away headers and push the plastic part so the pins on both sides are equal. I have been doing it for 3 years now without a problem.
