Solar symet CD

Solar symet CD

From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Flickr user Lewinski used the motor from a CD player in his symmetrical solar-powered bot. Hmmm. . . wonder how it could work with an actual CD incorporated as well.

If you are like me, you hate to sweep and are too poor to buy a "Roomba". This BristleBot project by 11th grade programming wiz, Erin Kennedy, is a pretty simple way of getting some basic cleaning done and watching the bot scuttle around on the kitchen floor is pretty fun too.
