Mobile OI

Has anyone made a mobile OI? I mean has anyone made a mobile controller for the robot, like so we wouldn't have to be sitting next to an outlet everytime we drive the robot. I was thinking that since the adapter is 9V DC, that I could take a 9V battery and hook it up to the power input of the OI(I just don't know how), and that would power the OI instead of the adapter. I was just wondering if anyone has done this or has been thinking about it. Can it be done my way or if anyone has a better way?
