Re: Scouting w/ Wifi: Powering Access Point?
I've rigged up a pair of 9.6v RC car batteries (wired so they provide ~20v) and a 12v voltage regulator from RadioShack to power both the DS and the router for the robot.

I've only run it for about 1.5 hours straight, but by my calculation it should run ~4 hours. If you need longer life you could always just add another pair of batteries.

My choice would probably be a back pack with 4 or 6 9.6v batteries and a router in the stands.
