Well the NXT and the Parallax Boe Bot is supported. That much I know.

Do you know where I can find the documentation on how these services work? Is there standardization between them? The only easy way to talk to the Innovation FIRST controllers is through the serial port. I know the Lego RCX bricks work in a similar way, so maybe I can salvage some code from that service on the PC end.
What I'm hoping to do is either find a defined protocol or come up with my own to communicate with the FIRST controller. From there it will be easy to write a robot side driver which simply takes all of the incoming motor and relay values, and writes them to their corresponding output.

The help file in the program describes how to implement the Lego controllers. It actually seems pretty possible albeit not legal within the confines of the competition.
