It is important to keep in mind the delicacy of your electronics and wiring when undergoing the process. Should a wiring setup break during a competition, it may cost you a victory and makes for a difficult repair procedure outside your usual working space.

Cables have a minimum bend radius, the smallest radius it can be bent, and it is important to keep this radius in mind when wiring. Generally, this bend radius is around six times the diameter of the wire. Research your wire to determine its minimum bend radius.

To strengthen wires and protect them from the elements, using heat shrink tubing is recommended.

Another key aspect of maintaining your wiring setups is cable management. You should make sure that your wires are tidy and away from danger so that they are not damaged and are easier to maintain.
