Wiring help and connectors

[Joe G.]

As far as I know, there has been no official word on wire type. However, since we will be using the same voltage battery, same current breakers, and same (or similar) motors, I would imagine that there would be no need to change this.

Ok thanks, only reason i was asking because we're about to buy about three hundred bucks worth of high strand silicon wire. I really need the info about the battery connector or does anyone else have a good connector for the battery besides the kop ones.

If you mean the Anderson quick disconnect connector, it's the only connector you can legally use on your robot (subject to the unreleased 2009 rules, of course).

If you mean the end that connects to the battery, just get some 6 gauge ring terminals from McMaster (7113K446).
