self build CD / DVD changer robot

I did not want to spend $2000 for some robot thingie putting empty disks one after the other in the drive and removing burned ones. So I dig out my good old fischertechnik (sort of LEGO-technik before LEGO thought of that) and build this contraption.
Reminds me also of some sort of Rube Goldberg machine but I did not have more pieces to make it more "interesting" to look at.

There is no computer logic except the one in the PC actioning the 2 drive bays and a switch detecting a CD has fallen and stopping the motor.

3 other videos of the same machine are uploaded on youtube.
