thanks!
The OI from last year didn't have to battery powered, it's always gotten power from the field.

This year the Driver's Station get's it's power through the competition port. When you go onto the field it'll be a black cable with a 9 pin connector. Make sure it's tight when you put it in because that's the last thing you want coming out in a match.
