Well, the idea is that the board will be an entire electronics system, with an RC and the whole power distribution system, and victors and spikes, etc. and theoretically capable of running an entire robot by just plugging things in, so we can test-drive the first-week chassis, and other things, without having to mess with the new electronics equipment until we have a better idea of all the parts we need. This year's electronics mounting was beautiful, but we built it a bit too soon and had to later add a victor and two spikes randomly to the frame, and had to run extra wires accordingly.

So, yeah, we need the same kind of power you get from the big battery.
