pic: Are these legal?

What about just painting the connector? Blue, purple, green, whatever if that is important to you?

I think R66 would apply and make painting the connector illegal. At least that is my take on the rules.

R66 says nothing about the wires or connectors attached to the battery. It says you can't change or modify the battery (among other things).

I don't see an issue with modifying the connector to mate with another connector. This isn't reducing it's protection from a short or its current carrying capacity of the connector itself. It's like saying a car isn't safe in a crash because you took the dice off the mirror. They aren't integral to the function of the device.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I could have sworn it was legal to make an adapter that goes from, say, a red SB50 to a SB100 and have it be part of your robot. Could the same thing work for blue to red SB50s, or am I mistaken?
