I'm concerned about the reliability of this connection when the robot is bouncing around on the field.
Also, I looked at the radio suppliers website where they sell power supplies, but don't seem to publish any details on the required connector.
Anyone else have any views on this?

The power connector used on last year's wireless router works fine. Just hook it to the 12 Volt terminals on the VRM.
