Re: How to power Mini-PC on robot?
Marshall, I think you're reading too much into the Q&A ruling. It specifically says that "laptops are designed to have a battery" - even if the battery is swapable, that doesn't mean you're constrained to the one that originally shipped with the laptop, so long as you use a battery intended for use with that laptop by the manufacturer.
But I can't see a way to interpret that ruling to allowing batteries to be added to a computing device that is designed to be run off wall power. Before you try that route, ask a direct question on the Q&A, otherwise you're likely to be disappointed at competition.
