Check your Anderson battery connectors

The pink sb50's we have been using are really red sb50's. From what I hear Anderson had too much pink plastic and donated pink versions of their red power poles to First.

We have been using both pink and red ones, any chance this is a problem? or are the pink ones specific to FRC and the below does not apply?

SB Powerpoles are Color Keyed
A unique feature of the SB Series Powerpole housings are that they are keyed to only mate with the same color housing. For example, a gray color will only connect with the same gray color SB housing. The Red color will only connect to a red colored connector, etc. The exception for SB50 is the black housing which also mates with the gray housing.

This feature can be used to color code different voltages or systems and prevent accidental connection.

Yup. The blue box under R36 says that the pink connectors from the KOP can mate with the red connectors.
