what are spybotics?
Spybotics are a terrific robotics toy created by lego. Lego has released four basic models. Each has an identical programmable brick (except for colour variations) varied by the addition of different lego technic elements. It is possible to extend or change these designs using your own LEGO TECHNIC.

MISSIONS
The programmable controller brick has two motors, a touch sensor, a light sensor and various light emitters. You can interect with the PC brick using the supplied controller. These bricks also have the ability to detect and target other spybots and controllers. Which opens up a whole new area of potential interaction.

The spybotics package includes a CD-ROM which features 10 missions that you can attempt. There is also an area called Special Operations where you can design your own missions.

PROGRAM YOUR OWN MISSIONS
It is also possible to extend the potential of these missions by creating your own from scratch. You can do this by writing your own code for your spybot. Your robot can be programmed using LEGO's Mindscript programming language or Dave Baum's NQC.
