Once this is approved, here’s a nice way to toggle the connect on and off:

#include "application.h"

bool ModeBtnPressed();
bool WE_SO_CONNECTED = false;
bool MODE_PRESSED = false;

void setup() {
  Spark.disconnect(); // Disconnect from the Cloud on startup
}

void loop() {
  if(ModeBtnPressed()) {
    if(WE_SO_CONNECTED == false) {
      RGB.control(true);
      for(uint8_t x=0; x<2; x++) { // Ready the Hyperdrive!
        RGB.color(255,0,0); //red
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(255,100,0); //orange
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(255,255,0); //yellow
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(0,255,0); //green
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(0,255,255); //cyan
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(0,0,255); //blue
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(255,0,255); //magenta
        delay(50);
        RGB.color(255,255,255); //white
        delay(50);
      }
      RGB.control(false);
      Spark.connect(); // Engage Hyperdrive!
      WE_SO_CONNECTED = true;
    }
    else {
      Spark.disconnect(); // Power down the Hyperdrive...
      WE_SO_CONNECTED = false;
    }
  }
}

bool ModeBtnPressed() {
  if(BUTTON_GetDebouncedTime(BUTTON1) > 100) {
    // Detect mode pressed only once
    if(!MODE_PRESSED) { 
      MODE_PRESSED = true;
      return 1;
    }
    // wait until button is released before indicating it's pressed again
    return 0;
  }
  else {
    MODE_PRESSED = false;
    return 0;
  }
}
