If you want to find out about all this, just go along to: http://lugnet.com/news/groups/, lots of stuff there. Anyway, to answer two questions I saw:

• IR reflects off most walls/ceilings apparently, so just point it up and it should bounce around, allowing a "broadcast" effect. I haven't tested this myself so YMMV.
• You can "kill" a lego bot by sending an "erase firmware" instruction; this is a legitamate op used when downloading new operating systems, eg legOS: http://www.noga.de/legOS/

I must really go play with mine .....
