I really hope the power location is readily accessible. Honestly if I was the big man making all the descions, just have the power done like many invitationals this year did with little boxes on the dash of every station, and just have refs do a quick check to make sure nothing but the laptop/netbook of choice is the only thing drawing power directly (nothing formal just take a peek as the bots are being loaded onto the field).

As said before though, we can shoot ideas back and forth all day (just like what the games gonna be) but it's one of those things we won't know until Januraryish)
