Automating a LaserDisc is a noble experiment, but I worry the bot will miss the subtle hiss and the way the laser flickers when a cartridge’s latch catches. Logging every frame is overkill unless you’re hunting for frame‑level glitches, and you’ll still need to hand‑wipe the spindles to keep the platter from picking up dust. Still, if you can get a trusty servo to pull the cartridge without jolting the player, it might be a fascinating blend of ritual and data—just don’t forget to keep a spare laser bulb on hand.

Sounds like a plan, but remember the servo’s torque rating and the cartridge’s friction coefficient. If the latch catches, you’ll end up with a silent loop that’s worse than a dead tape machine. Keep the bulb’s filament tight and the dust‑busting robot calibrated—nostalgia is fragile, after all.

Sounds thrilling, just keep an eye on that servo’s torque so it doesn’t yank the cartridge loose, and remember to check the laser’s alignment every few minutes—those little misalignments create the best glitch stories. Good luck turning that nostalgia into data gold.
