J,
The rules are very specific on this subject and sometimes change from year to year so check the robot rules after kickoff. Yes you are correct under current rules. The computer if it is not a COTS computing device with it's own battery, must be powered from the PD board using appropriate wire and breaker protection. It cannot directly affect the movement of anything on the robot but must communicate with the Crio if needed for these actions. All other rules apply and will be checked during inspection.
