So all the batteries and the robot itself must have a red connector. My as well then use red on the charger as well, and label/color via some other method.

Actually, the
2014 rules don't specify a color. All R35 says is " Anderson Power Products (or APP) Connectors (p/n SB50)", which is
available in multiple colors, but different colors don't mate (except for black and grey).
I'm fairly certain that, if asked, the
2014 GDC
would have said that only the red connector is allowed, since part of the reasoning of a single connector is to allow all batteries, chargers and robots to be interchangeable across teams.
