: Also, I believe once the initialization section of code runs, the format of the data stream is etched in stone until the next reset of the RC.

You could always use the 'robot reset' button to remotely reset the PBASIC part, and that would cause the negotiation to happen again. However, that's pretty ugly because: A) the driver would have to hit the button, and B) you would have to 'remember' what you wanted to renegotiate with either a sensor input or in the EEPROM, because the PBASIC RAM would be cleared when the processor was reset. (Everyone tells me, 'Eric, EEPROMS have improved in recent years so now you get millions of write cycles', but I still don't believe they will last long if you write to the same address at 40 hz.)
