Hi All,
I am running a little robot discovery group at my local elementary school.
When I started the group, all the pieces were sorted in see through plastic
ziploc bags. But after only a few days the kids have all the pieces in one
big mess.
So I would like to build a robot for sorting the Lego pieces when the kids
are done using them. I would think that the most difficult part of the
project would be a program for recognizing the pieces.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I might find a program that would work
with Vision Command for this purpose?
Has anyone already done this?
Also, any other ideas and comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, John

| I built 7 bots that sort for me. Althought they really don't do their job. Instead they play around all night and just bearly get everything cleaned up in the nick of time right before sunrise when they kick on their sort beams. 7 Little Sorting (...)
