hi 

i am working on a Autonomous cum wifi controlled Rover using DAGU rover 5 4wd chassis and 4 channel motor controller , arduino , 2s 2200mah Lipo , rasperry Pi and android mobile , ultrasonic sensor and mini servo.

the design is like below.

however i am having problem in creating power distribution board or power harness. any idea or suggestion? Above picture tells what component need how much power. Basically the battery power needs to be distributed to 3 components - 1) arduino , 2) motor driver , 3) 5v UBEC. i like to keep my circuit as much clean as possible and would like to create a 1 input(battery) to 3 output power harness which can provide required AMPs to components and doesnt create short or unwanted heat.

i have below components.

i do have male-female or female-female premium jumper wires. do i need to buy any gold connector or silicon wire (12AWG) or XT60 connectors?

well my question was more

well my question was more about how to physically wire them - i.e from one lipo output to -1 motor input and one ubec input and then the ubec output for PI and servo input. my point was what gauge wire to use , which connectors to use , any heat shrink needed on those joints etc.

i think i need to visit local electronic repair shop to get it done.
