SOOOO Nope. Dangit.

You found my rule request post. The mux is a 9v part, shoving
12v into it would not be good, as there is no internal regulator.

Xander told me last year that he had a prototype from Hitechnic
that did have a regulator and hence you could plug into the main
robot battery, but I haven't seen it hit the market yet and there's
been no more info from Xander on the subject.
