Sory I was too lazy to look up the correct number. So to power down the Pi, you place a scrip in Run Level 0. That sends a command over some link to you power controller to turn off the power to the motors "now" and to the Pi in about 1 minute. The power controller does this then goes into a mode where it monitors the "on" button. They make low-power processors that draw just microwatts that would be suitable.
One more thing, the break on the power to the PC could be either the AC line or the USB-C line. I'd do the USC so the power controller can be powered.
