Re: Power Driver Station with Serial
I'm not sure that this would solve your particular need. But since you weren't allowed to use wireless in the pits...

What we did to provide power to our DS while working on the robot, was to use
the power meant for the wireless gaming adapter. It has the same power requirement as the DS. So all the power came from the 12volt battery on the robot.
