Not sufficient for FTC
I just got two of these because I like that they can probably mount right inside some of the GoBilda or Rev extrusions (just widen out the larger holes with a step bit). However, I am very disappointed. Like another reviewer said, modifying them will be difficult (but not impossible) and it comes with 18 AWG wires. I have never seen 18 AWG used for the main power feed. I typically use 14 AWG at a bare minimum. Just the DC IR drop is going to be pretty significant on this thin of a wire. Really wish that it had been thought through a little more.

Nice switch but...
I was hoping to be able to remove it from the plastic mounting bracket, but looks extremely difficult with marine grade shrink wrap around wire contacts. Switch bracket is very universal, so I guess it's OK. Many FTC teams use Anderson Power Pole connectors. It would be nice to have an option for them as well as the XT30.
