When our robot was on blocks and we were just doing systems tests, we found that the best way around this problem was to plug the DS into the wireless bridge power supply. The plugs are both the same size and voltage. Obviously it doesn't work for when the robot is on the move (unless you build in a retractable wireless bridge power cord), but it is very nice because it allows you to do basic tests anywhere in the arena, not just near a plug.
