Edit:Moral of the story: Label everything! Especially the little cables to festos. When you have 6 festos and 2 breakouts things get real hairy real fast if they aren't labeled

I'm not a huge fan of labeling where it isn't necessary, especially in our application.

As Connor mentioned, cables are neatly ziptied and cut to length.

At the San Diego Regional, we happened to have a metal shaving short out our digital side car, meriting a complete replacement. The digital sidecar was replaced and tested in under 2 minutes. Not many teams can replace a fully loaded DSC in that time even if it were labeled.

It's just personal preference.
