In the 0.9 branch's \Dev\cyberbot-update-firmware\v1.0.6 proof of concept

If the user disconnected power mid-firmware update, the firmware could be corrupted. If so, a second attempt will not be able to establish communication with the Propeller. This would leave the board's owner in a difficult situation. Try modifying the script so that it does not require a reply from firmware in the cyber:bot board to complete the update.
