The Spybotics brick is actually pretty powerful and uses bytecodes quite
similar to the RCX.  I'm working right now on updating NQC to inculde
Spybotics support.  I have been able to download simple programs, now I

API file.  At that point (perhaps early next week), a subset of the
stuff from RCX2 will be available on Spybotics.

A future release will deal with adding things that are specific to
Spybotics.
