Basically, if we wish to provide power from a source other than the robot while it is in the pits, if we duplicate all required elements (fuses, breakers, etc.), but leave them on the cart and simply have easy-access plugs running into the robot, would that be legal?

The simplest solution would be to supply the cart-provided "ground power" using the regular battery connection on the robot. That would let you run
any robot from the cart, without needing to do any specialized wiring. All you need is to have the battery connector accessible, which should already be the case.
