Has anyone figured out how to get multiple Spybots to work at the same time? It seems that all the controllers I have will now make all the robots move at the same time. I've searched in vain for a simple description of how to make this work. -- (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) I thought somewhere in the Spybotics software, it mentioned to put the controller in the lock position, press a button (1 thru 5) and point it at the spybot.

(...) 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.

(...) OK, I'll bite, how does the Spybot get into this state? We've already discussed how to set up a secure link - how do we set up a non-secure link? Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
