Actually, even in the 24V BB robots most control systems still draw either 7V or 12V. Most teams that I've seen actually have separate batteries for the radios and controller.

Anyway, InnovationFIRST has already posted the new RC reference guide (on 12-20-02) and it still says 12V. Now, the RC only draws .75 to 1A, so it is very possible to power the RC off a small NiMH (or NiCad, etc) battery with less than 1Ah and still survive for multiple matches without recharging. This would be kinda cool to see as it would avoid the whole on-off-on-off cycling thing as the voltage in the main circuit drops below 8V.
