Powering the Raspberry Pi
For those of you with experience, how would you power the Raspberry Pi on your robot?

For those without experience, it is a small, cheap computer that runs on a microUSB cable, drawing 700mA @ 5V.

We need to power a camera as well, which is currently using the 5V port at the bottom of the PD board. Can we just splice the Raspberry Pi on?
