Battery Connector Color
Our team's charging station is built on a library cart, with the charger on top, and the batteries down below. It charges 8 at a time, and the wiring gets hard to follow. To make it easier to identify which battery is which, I want to put different color Anderson SB50 connectors on. But the colors are not compatible with one another. This means that we would need a bridge between the battery and the robot that changed colors. I don't want to do this because there is a higher chance of a bad connection, so my idea was during competition, we would change the connector on the robot to match the battery color. Have any other teams experimented with this?
