Squeak communicating with Linux robots

I just read an article in Linux Magazine about Linux robots
(http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/65 and
http://www.linuxrobots.org). The robot is connected to a network via
an onboard WLAN card. You SSH into the computer on the robot, execute
some C code (which hooks into the robot's libraries called
'librobot'), and botta-boom-botta-bing -- the robot moves.
I thought it would be neat to write a layer that would translate E-Toy
scripts into C in order to enable kids to control a robot from Squeak.
However, I have no clue how to "export" E-Toys scripts. Maybe that
is the wrong tack altogether. Perhaps all I need is a plugin or FFI
that would interface with the librobot C code. Am I on the right
path, or is it more complicated than that?
