Connecting the game bridge.

We have noticed that the game bridge power connector doesn't fit into the power box. Do we cut the power cable? Or do we have a certain wire attachment or piece for the power box? No other part in our kit has a fit hole for the power cable.

Re: Connecting the game bridge.

I believe that the Control Systems manual suggests to cut off the connector along with the cable from the power brick in order to provide power to it from the Power Distribution panel. This seems a *little* scary to me. Probably the best bet is to order a solderable barrel connector that fits the wireless bridge. The same holds true for the camera. It's much cheaper to buy a couple connectors and some wire than having to hunt down and express ship power bricks when you need them in an emergency.
