We have a number of these left over, but since our programming mentor from that era left the team we have no idea what to do with them. Are there any resources still around to teach students how to program and use them? We would love to be able to use them to control robots, as we have multiple sets of IFI controllers and you can never have too many functional robots.

Check Kevin Watson's robot pages from back then. He was the goto guru about programming the IFI controllers.

There were two general versions of the older IFI robot controllers. The 2003 and earlier versions used pBasic, while the 2004-2008 version used C for programming.

If you need help with resources you can post and several CD mentors can still help.
