Yea it is that is what we are doing we are have a vertical and a longways one and the longways one will have a claw that is self centring claw that can pick up from any angle and the get the claw over the lip you just ram it in to it and it will move
A couple things to remember: (1) Use the highest gauge wire possible, consider 22 AWG or larger wire. The larger the wire (larger cross section) the less resistance on the wire itself. And make sure you're using multi-strand wire, at that size I'm hoping that's a given. (2) The longer you make the wire, the more resistance the wire will have, and the more voltage you'll lose across the wire. Remember the signal voltage is 3.3v on the sensor wires, it doesn't take much voltage drop to make a big impact (teams have seen huge impacts even on power connections running 2+ feet, losses compound). (3) I recommend green polyester tape for this kind of application (look for it on Amazon), it's a high temperature tape that pulls cleanly afterward. That tape you used looks like painter's tape - the narrator called it "scotch tape" which painter's tape is - but it clearly burned, but as long as it doesn't permanently stick to the cable or catch fire I guess it's fine? Anyway, green polyester tape, you'll thank me later. (4) Be careful about the jacket on the wire. You should do this in a well ventilated area, many plastics give off noxious fumes when heated (and over-heated) and you don't want to be breathing those fumes in.
