We tried similar without any luck... The TX1 really wants a constant voltage.

We were able to get some help from Nvidia and the following modifications to the the TX1 actually seem to work nicely:

We now have the makings of a TX1 on our robot with something special in store for keeping it powered that I'm sure is going to draw some looks from inspectors. More details to come after our upcoming event.

Yeah, this board is not for you. The TK1 is definitely better in terms of CPU/GPU power than the Pi but honestly, stick with the Pi and the basic examples until you get them working then move on from there.
