Re: Charging station for the stands
All of these options will work.
It never hurts to have an inverter available for those times that you need AC, like at the Driver's Station and no AC is provided for those aging Classmate PC's that are still hanging around.
Now, the EE in me must speak up here.
Doing a double conversion using an inverter and then a wall wort is not the most efficient way to go. If you are already using batteries deemed unworthy to drive your robot, you will not want to waste what little energy you can get out of them by inefficiently converting it to +5vdc. Using something like Mr V linked to is a much smaller and more efficient way to go.
