Can we attach a battery to the mounting panel to allow the sticks to be powered without a wall adapter?
I don't think so...check the manual?
They can power the OI with a 9V battery if they want a portable OI for demonstrations, but they must realized that during competition, all connections to the robot go through the Competition port, including the power to use the OI. So the answer the question:
In Competition: No
At School: Yes, but notice that any voltage changes will cause your analog sensors to mess up on your OI like your joysticks, so be careful, and I highly advice you to make a voltage regulator that will ensure a steady voltage.
