Yeah - that's the right solution. The robostix has a 500ma regulator
on it, and the wifisitx/gumstix combination draws more than 500ma when
the wifistix is transmitting, so it caused the robostix regulator to
overheat and shutdown, thus resetting the gumstix.

Powering both the wifistix and the robostix gets around the problem.
There is also a solution over here as well:

Connecting V_BATT to V_ROBOBATT does essentially the same thing as
powering both the robostix and the wifistix.
