There are a lot of things in the picture... i dont think you would pass inspection with that laptop on your robot. But that waygo should be okay.

Yea I am asking about the blue Anderson connectors. I couldn't find anything in the manual but, I have never seen a team use any 50a power poles that were not red or pink.

What is the part number of the blue connector?

Then refer to the blue box associated with R36.

If that doesn't answer your question, search the Official FIRST Q & A.

The color "blue" has been trademarked by teams 234, 254, 341, and 1086 and is therefore not a legal color for other FRC robots, parts, or teams. Unfortunately you can expect legal action if you or your team use anything "blue". I would recommend against it.

I can not tell if you are joking or not. But you should be good

So anyone who winds up on the blue alliance is screwed?

All things "blue" are their sole property. I would recommend not wearing "blue jeans" or listening to "blues" music while in the pits, for instance. Also I understand this is where all the blue BaneBots wheels have disappeared to over the last couple of years.

FRC234 loudly objects.





For those that don't get it, that would be team Cyber Blue.

I've edited the original post on the trademark "blue", per your reminder. I'd forgotten to list these original partners. Thanks, EricH! I'm sure I would have faced litigation myself soon.
