     Recycling at it's best.

     Recycling at it's best. I am new here and like the home made aproach ( especially out of junk). Think out of the box.  I have seen wheels also and be trying a stronger design soon but never a body.

Nice! I wonder how many CD's

Nice! I wonder how many CD's have been used over the years by hobby roboticists. I've used them in several capacities myself, including use as wheels and encoder disks (but not as structural components yet).
