Connectors Recommendation for sturdy use in robotic vehicle applications

[ssylee]

I'm currently drawing a PCB to interface the header pin connectors (which I'm not a big fan of btw) from the microcontroller to the connectors (that I select) for the sensors, actuators, etc. However, as there are so many connectors available from suppliers (Digikey, Newark, etc.), I'm fairly lost on what to get for my sensors and actuators for robotic vehicle applications. What are sturdy choices that you would recommend? Thanks in advance for the comments.

Haven't heard from anyone about it yet. I guess it highly depends on my current draw requirements. With that said, what are your recommendations in general?

There are plenty of locking variations of the pin connectors.
