Very cool!I could see this

Very cool!

I could see this anchored to a wall and able to move both horizontal and vertical. Make it so anyone can connect to it and make it print something.

Would make an interesting mural :)

good idea

I really think the ideas are nice, the only inconvenient is that I have already dismounted the printer, since now I´m working on a tic tac toe that people can play with my Lego in my house using a webcam.

They have this available on

They have this available on SparkFun but the cards aren't cheap. I dont think many on this site have used bluetooth for their bot due to costs.

It's different but still...

You might want to do some research on zigbee and xbee modules. They are wireless modules that run on their own protocol and they're pretty inexpensive. I think $21 USD for the cheapest module.
