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 Brixcc.

So, here's a little program that should let you set values into memory
locations.

I hope it helps.

program SetMemory
{

#include<Spybot.h>
#include<Globals.h>
#include<Events.h>
#include<Messages.h>


main
{
//MemOp_Bead(nMem,nOperation,nValue)
nMem = 0      // eeprom memory address (0-255)
nValue = 0    // value (0-255)


MemOp_Bead(nMem,memSet,nValue)
}
}

(...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
