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.

Nice job Lewinski! Nice reuse of parts.
Check out one of my solarbots at

Thanks for the shout out!
Some notes:
– I used a 1381C voltage trigger. I think I would use a higher value next time to allow more charge to accumulate.
– The 4700 uF/16V caps I used are probably too bulky for that motor.
I need to find another old CD player so I can make one with these revisions.
