Why not just power it through a competition port dongle?

All you need then is a 25 pin connector (or a 25 pin cable chopped in half) and a battery.

*shrug* seems cheaper, and you can put in switches for disable and auto mode while you're at it. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while now. I would like to find a better power source, something in between a 9 volt dry cell and a bot battery. I was thinking an old laptop battery, although it is rated at 14.4 volts. I know nothing about the power system of the RC, so I won't try it, yet.

But it would be so cool.

Maybe if I get bored in the pit...
