I will double check on that and post a question in the Q & A.

I believe the intent was that you use their circuit in lieu of not having an onboard charger. It seems very unlikely they'd let you connect any "non-official" circuitry to either of the power systems in such a manner, a mistake could result in dangerous damage to the backup battery and it's not easy for an inspector to look through every circuit to make sure its legal. I believe the correct interpretation is that you have an option of using the IFI circuit, or not using one, and they recommend you use it.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
