Thanks for the pointers! I got three to work independantly now. Rather odd
that with four different robots, LEGO didn't design in 4 differnt channels
as well. The way the remote is set up, it could have worked like David
Koudys suggested.
Anyway, I have another question - in my fiddling with it, at one point I got
controller A to send commands to spybot 1 and 2, while controller B sent
commands to spybots 1 and 3. What's going on here? How was that even
possible? And how did I do it, should I want to repeat this weird configuration?
Is the remote at all programmable? Various missions talk about 'programming'
it, but I suspect that you're just programming the robot as to how to react
when each button is pushed. Does anyone have details on how it works?
