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,
although I am new to Robolab, Spybotics and robotics in general.  Any tips or
links to useful information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the prevue:





The LDraw files are available from LDraw Parts Tracker. Don’t forget all the subfiles!

Some LDrawers may wonder how I created the smooth front cover shape. I started with a few hires 1-4edges, inlined them and modified their horizontal alignment with MLCad:



Then I created stripes of polygons between each pairs of lines using Coverer tool.



Missing conditional lines between the stripes were created using Lee Gaiteri’s Edger to obtain the nice smooth shape (using LDView “smooth curves” option).



Enjoy,

Philo,

Congratulations! This is a fantastic part! LDraw sure has come a long way since its humble beginnings, and the ground breaking work by James.

Hard to tell... I worked on it on and off during 15 days. I would say about 10
hours.
