"The SB50 connector series is keyed by color."

"Plus, if you make it to the finals and you need to borrow a 'spare parts' battery, it will have a SB50. You won't be able to connect."

It will be either a black or gray connector and it won't fit the blue one. This would be the biggest reason to not use the blue connector.

The color keyed SB50's is a nice feature if you know you'll never need to mate with a different color. We did a project with them, color coded cause it was cool and then got burned when we couldn't swap around. Decided to make "color adapters" and then decided to go black/gray all around with a strip of colored tape on the connector and cable.
