You could run the DS on a Raspberry Pi attached to the robot.


Note I do not condone doing such thing. There is a very good reason they don't allow you to enable robots without having the driver station connected. Rogue randomly moving robots are VERY dangerous. Having the DS on the robot might sound like a good idea, until its randomly driving away towards a crowd of people and you have no way to stop it..
