Hey guys, I'm trying to make a Mini-ITX computer for my Robotics Team so it has to be generally small and portable. The idea is a small, clear-case driver station to see all the hardware inside. It creates an awesome visual and a little show off to the other teams. The problem I'm running into though is that I can't stick a PSU onto the build because it's big and heavy. Is there a way to run it from something similar to a laptop battery? I don't know a whole lot or next to anything about power(I'm on the programming team, I tell the robot what to do and the rest is up to the electrical team). We're a bunch of high schoolers and this is a bit over my head. the total wattage for the computer as a whole is under 350W if that makes a difference.
