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?

I think the player/stage project is much more suitable for this implementation. There were already some implementation for robot control via DEVS models at our university.
