Re: Compiling Robot code...

Sure. Are you using easyC or MPLAB? When you compile with either, the compiler creates a .HEX file--you may need to change your Windows settings to see the extension--that can be transfered to a flash drive onto another pc; run IFI loader on that PC and use it to transfer the code onto the robot.

Why not install the compiler on the PC with the serial port? thumbdriving it over seems like a massive pain...

Or buy a USB to Serial converter. They can be had for less than $50 if you know where to look; most of the newer ones don't cause problems like the older ones did.
