Also nice printer graphmastur, hope you'll win :)
Thank you, I hope I do to!

The "big yellow" bricks you are referring to are the RCX models which are the older versions.  The one I used is the NXT.

Just saw this for the first time and it looks amazing. I remember trying to make simple RCX stuff when I was little, but nothing even close to this. Good luck on winning and I'll be sure to vote for you

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

I think you'll get more votes now.  I submitted it to Hack a Day a few days ago and today it was published.

Thanks! I didn't have any other cameras available, so I just used Screenflow on my mac with it's camera.  Not the best, but I had no other options at the time.

Well, unfortunately, I didn't win Grand prize which means no 3D printer, but I did win first prize which means I get a Lego NXT 2.0 set.  It's good I guess, but I still am kinda sad I didn't get a 3D printer.  Go here to see what actually one.

Congrats! :D

I noticed you used Bluetooth for communication.  You know, Thepenguin has a program that experimented with Bluetooth and was pretty successful.  I bet that you could make your lego printer print programs and things straight off the calc with enough effort. ;D

Well, it's not advisable to use bluetooth.  I only used it because it was so quick to write up.  I'm trying to recompile the lejos kernel in order to be able to add a serial interface.  Then I can easily talk to it using the replicatorg software and get that all working before I would try printing from my calc.
