You can also connect the blocks in such a way that they only fit in one orientation instead of using different color cases. This eliminates the "need" for stocking different color cases.
I just copied tim-tim's post from a previous thread since it is exactly what will help you out!


Using D-sub connections is also a great way for connecting sensors!
