The main responsibility of the Spybot is to process IR commands from the remote.
That will give us the ability to control SSC via remote.
The Spybot has two built-in motors. Those can control some auxiliary
(non-critical) function, like open/close the claw (one motor, each claw)

Yes. RCX outputs:
A) Direction (forward/backward or right/left)
B) Switch between walk and turn
C) Switch between (B) and side-step
D) Start/Stop State Machine (halt walking)
E) Curl tail?
RCX Inputs:
1) Light sensor 1 from state machine piston (reads 3 possible state)
2) Light sensor 2 from state machine
3) Touch sensor from front foot 1
4) Touch sensor from front foot 2
5) Rotation sensor from arm 1
6) Rotation sensor from arm 2

Yes, all three will communicate via IR.
We should be able to do it without the Spybot, but it adds some cool stuff.
