So I then wonder how they (LEGO) disabled the remote on the wall climber.
Some one suggested a different firmware but I do not believe that that is
possible since the code only took seconds to upload for each program....

Well one way you can disable emote control, and block all other
communications for that matter, is by making the RCX constantly send out
messages. A simple line of code like this - while(true){sendmessage(0);} • is
ought to do the trick. Apparently the IR Tx/Rx is not full duplex, hence
rendering it impossible to receive any commands/messages while sending
one.

Sort of like shouting at the top of your lungs at mom so you can't hear what
she's complaining about? :)
