Our team don’t have the longer wires for our motors. Is there any alternative?

To be clear, you MUST use V5 Smart Cable stock sold only by VEX Robotics.

As stated in <R15A> of the high stakes manual:

External wires on VEX 2-wire or 3-wire electrical components may be repaired by soldering or using twist/crimp connectors, electrical tape, or shrink tubing such that the original functionality and length are not modified in any way.

i. Wire used in repairs must be identical to VEX wire.

In theory you could use telephone wire of the same length as official VEX wire, but I am not familiar with the rules and you might fail inspection.
