My team has run out of the regular vex cable heads and wires, and we know that the wire type is seemingly RJ11. However, I read another forum post that said using off the shelf components would be potentially dangerous due to extreme current load.
My team has an existing robot using all legal components and wiring, and plan never to attend a competition using the illegal RJ11 cables, however we are also building a new robot and would like to test certain components. Would simply using these for testing pose an unnecessary danger? What about using them for low-current/wattage demanding components instead of motors, like rotational sensors and distance sensors?
Again, I plan to never use these illegal cables in competition, but merely for testing, as we don’t have any connectors and wont for a while. But I wont use them if its dangerous.
(This is probably more of a question for official vex employees but I would like all input.)
