I found out that the samantha uses bluetooth commands over ethernet (nxt -> usb -> samantha listening on port 2901 for commands that would be sent over usb or bluetooth). I have also found a way to emulate a COM port by specifying the ip and port that we want to use for the connection. So we can make a COM port that connects to the Samantha which understands the commands already built into RobotC, the one thing that I can't figure out how to do is manually specify the COM port in RobotC. If I could manually specify which port to use I'm quite certain that RobotC could communicate with the NXT since the protocall already exists. Does this capability to specify the port exist? If not might the developers be willing to release a revision of RobotC that does so we can use this workaround?

Thanks,
Oliver
