We used blue and white last year with no problem at three events. I hope that doesn't change Have you seen/experienced any inconveniences with the alternate color wires?

Here are the connectors. They are a bit heavy, but with how close everything ended up on the board, they will probably come in handy.

Make sure you get the right "exit" so the connector is going the right way

Yeah, I think this was under discussion. The board was wired this way because of the functional convenience of it. Maybe the kids will strip an interior portion of the wire and have a single piece all the way through Adding the other wire will be trivial when necessary.
