I doubt that in the quarters and semis teams would have been allowed to simply setup at the scorers table whenever they please.

We're looking into rigging up an assembly to run the DS from a battery for GTR.

In one of our quarterfinal matches at FLR our robot was dead after a collision on the field. We needed to power up to be able to make sure all of our connections were corrected. The power was most likely available to you because they arranged it for us I believe when we asked for it. We brought our robot over and proceeded to power it up and check all the connections and motors. The volunteers at FLR were great in accommodating us during this time and I thank them deeply for this.
