So there's this weird effect where since the cable grip was extended, the entire blue section, once comes in contact with the plug will say the checkpoint has been achieved. Just putting this here for review.

Yeah good point, the competition code is checking when any part of the last link of the cable touches the outlet on the solar panel. This doesn't seem to be new with the new cable design though, it looks like it's been like this since the first version of the cable.

Beware though that according to the rules, judges will be looking at "style" when performing the tasks, and I suspect that plugging the cable in a weird direction could cost points.

Yeah I just wanted to post that for very reason. To help teams minimize this chance of it happening cause when it does, it gets stuck to the panel.
