The situation you describe needn't be the case. You mention two
problems.
If empty bin-space is a problem, you are suffering from one of two
difficulties. Bins too large for your collection. Or a collection too
small for your bins (see my auction). RoughTotes are great for 1x2s and
2x4s but you need smaller bins like the plastic bin racks used by many
hardware stores to display/organize screws and such.
If you have these standard plastic bins, rank and file as was described,
you could set up a technic/mindstorm track in front of them and then
build with a computer at hand having your little lego servant bring the
pieces(or bins) that you need.
