wiring color question

[Veselin Kolev]

Hey guys,

One concern we have for competitions is our wiring. We used color coded wiring so we could follow wires easily, for example CIM1 uses blue and yellow wires, CIM2 uses purple and red wires. This made wiring very easy this year. We also used red heat shrink for positive and black heat shrink for negative, but only over the last two inches of the wire to cover the connectors. Hence, you can tell that the wire is positive or negative, AND you can trace the wire across the chassis. There is a rule that says your wires should be red for positive and black for negative, I forgot which rule number it was. Now, do the wires have to COMPLETELY be red or black? And will our funky color coded wires pass inspection?

Thanks.
