Official Q&A: VIQC 2019-2020: Squared Away

Now that V5 is fully rolled out, I was wondering if the RECF would be making any changes regarding the Vex IQ cables. I would love to be able to use the crimping tool/connectors from V5 to fix cable ends when students break off the locking tabs, but I am concerned that it won’t be tournament legal if I do so. As it is right now we end up throwing out a lot of the cables when the ends break. I understand that crimping new ends on would change the cable size, but I don’t think that being able to change cable sizes gives any strategic advantages. Does anyone know if the RECF has any plans to make this legal? I checked through the documentation but didn’t see anything about it one way or the other.
