Does anyone know the actual gauge of the three-pin PWM/Relay cables?
I’m not sure, but I’m guessing about 26 AWM. However, the yellow ones supplied in the kit are probably like 30 AWM.
Check out section 8.3.9 at http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Community/FRC/FRC_Documents_and_Updates/2007_assets/Manual/8%20-%20The_Robot_RevE.pdf
Particularly check rule 90. The servo wires are 24 AWG. The exception to these rules in the past has been the “Y-connector” cables that allow you to connect two Victors (or Spikes) to one PWM output on the RC. They were 28 AWG as I recall. I don’t know as I’ve seen that exception written in to this year’s rules or Q&A forum, so unless I’ve missed something, I suspect they are not allowed this year.
24 Gauge, three conductor wire can be a bit of a pain to find. I get ours from www.greathobbies.com but you may be able to find a dealer closer to home.
