Transport Configuration - External Battery

Some teams use a 2nd battery while in Que to pre-charge pneumatics. This keeps from draining the competition battery.

Question 61 states that the robot must stay in Transport Configuration while in the que. When the 2nd battery is attached, is the 2nd battery now considered part of the robot for Transport Configuration purposes?

What about a computer (driver station) that tethers to the robot while in que?

Q61 also means that you better be able to do minor service to your robot while in Transport Configuration (replace battery, fix problems a Robot Inspector finds while you are in que, etc.)
