You can power the OI on a 9 volt battery. If you want it to last a while, put a few in parallel.

for our memorial day parade we just stuck the robot on our trailer and didnt move it it was strapped down pretty good, and ted said you had alot of fun getting the generator, i think its time to make a battery pack for stuff like this all the cool kids have one!

we were going to make one.....but a mentor came up with a good reason not to do it....we need batteries to be on charge! ya never know if your going to need another battery soo even if you can power the OI you wont be able to run the robot w/o a charged battery.
