I am seriously requesting discussion, Al will eventually see this, and see if it has any merit. I am only 2 years into FIRST, so asking for some understanding.

I guess that is my point, if you want standardization, then pick A color and stick with it.
I don't understand the points about inspection, as if you really had a standard, all of the robots would follow the same color code. It would even be more understood.
I was not going for this strict standard in original post, but now as I look at the colors, and the comments, I really have an issue with white being used as a positive. In the US and most other nations, white is not used as a positive. We wired the bot with the white with blue tracer on the positive, and blue on the negative to meet the spec. The issue I have with that, and the reason for the post, was it is completely wrong, to what these kids will find in a couple of years after FIRST.
I am glad that Andrew posted, but as a student that came up through the FIRST program, now goes to Kettering, and works at Chrysler. There is not a single application he will come across, where white will be a positive.
NEC says so. (66.9 robot control falls under this spec, but obviously, I wouldn't make the case that an FRC robot is a control panel, and Andrew might, as it appears that anything mobile doesn't fall under any standards.)
That just seems wrong, to me.
I think it is a disservice.
For the humor...
For the record the kids didn't mind, and the electrons still flowed unknowingly.
