On a side note, I have been thinking of this myself, and this thread helped me a bit with some of the other commands such as "reset to home".
Here is a list to my latest progress. I have full control of the R.O.B. from my Atari 2600. So I think it is safe to assume that it is possible from any classic console on a CRT.
I confirmed all of the codes mentioned as well.
