At any rate, this car charger will probably work. It's listed as compatible with the same laptops that your stock charger is compatible with.
It has to be a boost charger of some sort, though there isn't a guarantee of how low an input voltage it'll work with. Still $20 for a potential off the shelf solution seems reasonable to me.

We bought the charger and.....it worked! Thanks for the help! I don't know how long it would've took me before I realized there was a smart pin.
Also, the charger states it can go from 11.5V to 15V so it should work no problem as long as we have a full battery. Or maybe it may be worth to get booster to 14V just to be sure....we will see after actually testing it on the robot. Thanks!
