R607       *Electrical connections should be robust and must be insulated. All electrical paths may include intermediate elements such as COTS connectors (Anderson Powerpole, XT30, and similar crimp or quick-connect style connectors), splices, COTS flexible/rolling/sliding contacts, and COTS slip rings, as long as the entire electrical pathway is via appropriately gauged/rated elements and all connections are protected from accidental electrical shorts

Teams are strongly encouraged to insulate all exposed electrical terminations or provide physical barricades to protect from accidental electrical shorts.
