one of the reasons for that was That I was your Robot inspector at championship. i know its no big deal what color your wires are as long as you diferinate between + and -.

Having been a robot inspector. i've seen how the typical voulinteer inspector is generaly given an idea about how to inspect robots and then tries to go through the list to the best off their ability. and they tend to ruin a teams day when they don't pass you for somthing silly like that

However, the use of these colors is not very common in FIRST, so you should be prepared to show your inspector the rule in case he/she has not seen this before.
Yes your absolutely right be ready with the rule in your hand.
Im not saying that inspectors should "give you grief" . im saying that you will have some that will
