that is not cool man because some body made a printer with no wires beat that.

@stephthao what are you talking about? There is no NXT that is wireless.

will you e mail me the building instructions

[222Doc]

never did any for this, though this is a rather simple project. I used some lego wheels on each side, they are powered by the side motor, this makes the paper move forward or back as needed.

Circles; well somewhat, it would have been more complcated program. Also the more angle you atempt you see a zig zagy aspect to the figure. The rotation resulution of the motors is good but you will push those limtes soon if you try to right too small or with steep angle. From the distance this is filmed the lines seem smooth but if zoom in you see this zig zagyness.

@222Doc He thinks he can compare this to a real printer... Great job!

@bababoy10 each shape is a set of motor moves in a loop. since in this contest they only had a rule that it must print three differant shapes and how many it could do in a set time. The NXT brick stores the programs you write in the brick.
