What, no disassembly of partially assembled chunks of brick? So have you
started designing the machine yet? :) Will weight and size be sufficient to
sort the parts? I think designing a sorting machine for Eric Harshbarger
(or for your own sculptural endeavors) would be easier than designing a
sorter for the general LEGO (ab)user. Otherwise, the sheer amount of bins
for different parts would be overwhelming.
