thanks to ndupont for giving me the idea!
Well, there is not so much to say... It is very simple, a bit hard to place all the electronic stuff very close.
I have not bought anything for this robot, I made it because my Arduino was lying down.
CDs are a bit hard to drill, I have better results with double tape.
I used 3 DVDs and 1 CDs, so the total memory is about 14.8 Go :)
Thanks for watching!

Very nice, needs some RGB
Very nice, needs some RGB LEDs or a mirror ball. Try using a hot soldering iron to drill holes in the cd's. much easier.

or some LEDs to shine off the CD's, flashing like a real disco ball. good job! CD's are great to work with. thin, sturdy, perfectly round, and plentiful. I've had no problems drilling into them with a drill press. use a slow feed rate when plunging the bit.

I had some problems for drilling because I did not know how to do it, so it broke onto parts.
Double tape is perfect for me, I just have to reassemble everything occasionnaly :)
I have filmed it with a camera equipped with a flash and it gives him so much "disco"!. I will make another video in dark.

yes the final goal is to create a sort of "start here robot" with a SHARP sensor. But for now it is just 110% of fun :)
