Hello Everyone, I'm back again from another long hiatus. I mentioned this challenge a long time ago on the Robot Party hosted by RobotGrrrl, but I just haven't gotten around to posting it here. So here it is: The challenge is to build a robot using CDs. The idea came from me pondering about what materials could I use to build my next robot. Most people do not have access or the resources to obtain most of the robot building materials I use. I began thinking of alternatives and I came up with compact discs. They are easily obtainable (often free) and easy to machine.
The judging will be based on these criteria
1. Creativity
2. Functionality - Does it actually do something
3. Use of CDs - the more the better
There will be prizes and the winner will be announced live on the Robot Party.
I will post an example of a robot I built later this week to give you some inspiration.
Happy Building :D

Maybe I don’t have the right tools, but they tend to crack unexpectedly and sometimes they can be hard to glue. Again, maybe I don’t have the right kind of glue…
On a side burner I have a CD bot that’s in the works. It’s depending on a handful of other things to come to fruition before I can make more progress on it. Hopefully another month is enough time.
