(...) Ok, here's a bit more info. All the points/scores SHOULD be saved to the PC, under the Spybot ID. It sounds like your bot lost it's ID. How sad. :( So, I'll suggest a couple options. 1) Try to find and load the original ID or 2) Copy the data (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) I'm not sure I can solve the problem, but this may help you get started. After looking in the Spybot SDK, I found "MemOp_Bead" which is a subroutine for Mindscript that sets eeprom. Mindscript is LEGO's own language. I think it works in (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
