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.

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.

From pictures I have never seen another team use a particular color of power poles. It's a small detail but something I would expect from a team like 254.

Re: pic: Are these legal?

In seriousness though, I have considered purchasing other colors from Anderson, as they do sell their connectors in many colors. You're right, it would be a nice touch if your team colors are reflected in unique ways on the robot; it's a little thing, but worth considering.

Re: pic: Are these legal?

Please note that if you use a different color SB50 connector other than the Red type (or the special *FRC pink version of the Red type), you will not be able to connect to the Spare Parts batteries or other team's batteries. The SB50 connector series is keyed by color. A blue connector won't mate to a red connector etc.

*The pink is a special case where Anderson produced pink versions using the Red mold because they had to much of the pink plastic and wanted to use it for the donation.

We used orange in 2013 and 2014 but we decided to switch back to red so that we would be compatible with other FRC teams, as the orange ones were too hard to force together with the red ones.
