Sounds like it... check this out.

<R49> The 7.2v backup battery may be charged on or off the ROBOT. When off the ROBOT, the battery is to be charged with a 7.2V backup battery charger. When mounted on the ROBOT, the backup battery may be charged from the 12VDC primary battery by using the custom charging circuit available from Innovation First Inc. or any similar charging circuit (note: IFI will provide the design for this circuit on the IFI website, however teams must obtain the parts for this circuit and assemble it themselves). The use of this circuit is strongly encouraged.
