JJ2 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Hello all! I was browsing YouTube and found this awesome creation Copied from description: A technic pin sorting machine using compressed air for ejecting pins The pins are feed from the tumbler one by one and dropped on a fast moving conveyor. This ensures a minimum distance between the pins. Next they pass a color senor which measures the color, shape and length of the pin. These measurements are compared to the profiles of all types of pins and scored by similarity. The matching profile gives which output to activated and when to do it. Pins that don't pass the similarity threshold are ignored and drops in the container at the end of the conveyor. If only them made instructions so blakbird can review it NOTE: this is not mine!

JJ2 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 This is just great. Fantastic Job. I didn't make this Quote
Blakbird Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 That's a pretty incredible creation. Reminds me of Akiyuki's axle sorting machine except that his machine is purely mechanical and this one is Mindstorms. I like the clever use of pneumatics as an ejector. Quote
