We did a variant on this, using a robot battery, appropriate connectors on the battery and motor side, and a drill handle.
Here's the build video our mechanical and electrical captain, Izzy, made. That runs for quite a while, since you're not using a drill battery.
I really wish I'd thought of flashlight aiming and passive bridge manipulators.
