i built it free form,colupe core driven two gear motor.the wheel made by 4 piece of scsi disk.

Those are cd's right? From the name I thought those might be hard disk platters at first. That design is very nice. Does the robot simply roll forward when the caps discharge?

because the two solar cell and motor will work alone,the cell can be think as the bots eye.
