Sound track is 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. The first version from the old computer game 'Manic Minor' and the second as an orchestral version.
Thanks for the comments. My daughter helps feed the devise :)
The devise is basically a Z80 with three analogue input, three analogue output, a hand full of timers and about 64 two-byte integers which act as data memory, and a few KB of programming.
There are many languages available, including a graphic drag/drop from Lego. This was programmed in NQC, 'Not Quite C', which as the name suggests, is a sub-set of c.
Lego Mindstorms is an excellent way of interesting children in programming :)
found this during a data structures talk at work.. genius!!

Wow, great job!
I wouldnt mind a LEGO mindstorm kit myself, seeing as Im a programmer, and Ive always been interested in robots, though I know nothing about them.
Well done on the build, good job, thanks for uploading the vid.

did the girl make the implementation of algorithm? :D
no seriously, cool video
what kind of language these toys use? some kind of asembler? or could it be done in c or java?
