Looking at the description in Jay's article and at the example code I think that adding a form of RF communication via the PIC is well possible and the PIC can oeprate as 'communication front end' for the spybot. I believe that Jay's work can boost considerably the capabilities of the spybot. Furthermore the same concepts can be applied to the RCX. The RCX in fact has an internal i2c bus (used at least for the contol of the LCD). Using BrickOS it would be possible to extend the interfacing capabilities of the RCX.

(...) This is certainly possible. I connected the serial port receiver of the PIC to the IR receivers on the Spybot in hopes of detecting my own transmissions for use as a simple proximity detector. It almost works when the Spybot translucent cover (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
