(...) With the latest release of Brixcc, you have the ability to control the spybot.

I have an RCX, a Scout, and some Spybotics under the Christmas (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.scout)

Thanks for the tips. The first time i use the :short option, it worked perfectly, but it hasn't worked again. I must have hit on the exact right distance/position by dumb luck. Oh well. I'll keep trying and post my findings. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

I must have run into this problem before (and forgot about it). I was looking through the NQC source code for using the USB tower and noticed that the Mac OS X version of NQC supports an options -Susb:short which will use the USB tower in short (...)
