Please use the correct color wire. I've seen teams at events this year that just use whatever color, red or black, they happen to have around without regard to polarity. I saw one team (not this year, fortunately) which "cleverly" color coded all of their victors to use red wire and all of their spikes to use black wire.
This is not an opportunity for you to continue the color theme of your team. If your team colors happen to be blue and white, congratulations, go ahead and use those wire colors, otherwise don't get creative here. Purple and yellow are not legal wire colors.
