I'm saying without having to spend $80 on the HiTechnic converter.
You might be able to hack that but I wouldn't advise it...You wouldn't get much current and it would only be at 5 volts or so...

More importanly, you cannot use the NXT battery for anything more than powering the NXT...

The minibot rules specify the battery and the motors that must be used...
