7. the german tv-cable-show "nbc giga" had 2 years ago a DIY-dancemat project. it was out of wood, and very stable. here is a picture of the base of the "mat": http://www1.giga.de/medien/bild/news/213691news.jpg the artikel isn't anymore on the "nbc giga" server, but it was published on cd. if you are interested i could send you the desciption and plans. google cache only knows this about it: http://www.google.de/search?q=cache:iyGGqAB71BIJ:www1.giga.de/storie_u4/0,3202,48490,00.html
