Does anyone have any experience using Robolab with a Spybotics kit?  I just got
a couple of old Spybotics kits for my son this past Christmas and would love to
program them with him using Robolab.  I have lots of programming experience,

links to useful information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if RoboLab will work with Spybotics, but if you have prior
programming experience NQC may be a better option. It works great with
Spybotics.

No language war intended, but for now I'd rather use Robolab.

That said, if I change my mind I'd appreciate some tips on using MacNQC with
Spybotics.  Most of the stuff that I've seen on the web talks about using the
regular RCX stuff.  One of my biggest questions is whether I need to download
firmware from the SDK to the Spybotics controller.  All the stuff I see talks
about getting the firmware from the Mindstroms SDK for the Mac but the Lego
Mindstorms web pages for that SDK are long gone. I've downloded stuff from the
program that comes with Spybotics.  Is that sufficient?

Thanks in advance.
