Roll your own...
The only way I know of is to roll your own reset. Essentially, you can trash all your variables (set to zero) by hand, including Scratch Pad Ram if you use it and then using a goto label or a run 0 command.

This could work for you if you really need to.

If you REALLY need to have a robot reset under program control, you may just wire up a bunch of motors to stall eachother, then pull the battery down low enough to reset stuff.

I don't know what voltage the controller kicks out, but the radios die at 8 volts.

Hope this helps.
