If a SB unit can send/receive VLL on top of having "RCX/Scout compatible" IR
comms, is this scenario possible:
A CyberMaster (using a VLL output pgrm) sends a VLL message to the SB unit
that will send some other IR message to the RCX. Then the RCX will reply
through IR back to the SB unit. Is this theoretically possible ?
Can the Spybotics unit send/receive standard RCX/Scout messages ?
