Go to Post Temp wiring is always bad but it is made worse when dealing with a $1000 part. You wouldn't try to lash a makeshift power source to your PC. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

"Essential to completeness" is not the standard. Everything on the robot needs something else in order to work.

R37 says: "batteries integral to and part of a COTS computing device". There have been many discussions about batteries and the Raspberry Pi. Until someone sells a Pi COTS with battery, the Pi cannot have its own battery. Team 4480's computer is no different. Hence a laptop (notebook, chromebook, pad, etc.) with a built in battery is the preferred solution.

Just because you have an Operating System on your COTS computing device that does not like a random shutdown is not an excuse. If you had a more fault tolerant OS (and a fast booting one), you would not "need" the second battery.
