Why should we have to buy more terminals from andymark? Also you want to minimize the 6 AWG wire on your robot so if were were to connect a full length terminal we would be really stressing the wire and connections on the battery and at the connector end.

And the moral of the story is don't make assumptions. You made an assumption now you have to pay for it. Consider this a life lesson.

I don't believe this is reasonably logical. It flies in the face of years and years of competitions and what has been legal in the past. This is rules lawyering at it's worst - literal interpretation of the rules without regard to intent.

And yet the competition changes so what made you think that what has been legal for years and years is legal this year.
