[2000nesman]

Cool I like it. Keep up the good work.

[MindstormsFreak]

Jo, da hat sich mal jemand gedanken gemacht, wie er den Prozess effektiv ablaufen lassen kann! Gute Arbeit!

[crazy4walle]

Hey, I could really use that machine you made!

[stoneytheraster]

VEry good! I've just made the alpha rex, experimenting with NXT pythn at the mo, lots fo fun!! :D

[rctrucknut]

two words, KICK ASS

[erwan421]

It's very cool to sort bricks !!

[ml497]

Cool. I can do this even faster though!

[SlushPuppyGirl]

Cool! I love mindstorms, i was in the lego league 2007/2008. If you sell this to midstorms as a kit you could make millions!

[techluvr1234]

[spriggsinperson]

[xsilverxwindx]

[bazmarc]

Excellent Laurens,  not only does it sort color but brick size too ! very cool.

[ksp420]

Beautiful. Great design. Check out my variable transmission and 6 legged robot.

BTW does anyone know where I can get the software for the RCX 1.5???

[foad1337]

check out Legos home page should b there somewhere :D its usually free

[rcman1000]

[tijskeb]

lol

[theyoungster2]

AWESOME!!!

[Eldertvalk]

lolz

[Spontaneologist]

I built one of these for a Design Technology project, it was a little less elegant... A conveyor belt, and a series of mechanical arms acting like golf clubs :P

[A1rPun]

DAMN this is nice!!

[aznxdope]

HAHAHA bring it to my house and ill give you money to sort my legos

[Ligisten1337]

How long does it take to build that thing? great anyway!

Look what we get if we invert your words:)

U use shit, Y? Make something full of peace! Not?

I hope you meant it that way ;).

[Scorge120]

its usefull for builders dumb fuck.

[colby963]

nice work dud that would have taken ages man

[12alle12]

nice work :P

[set114]

it would be quicker do sort them urself

[decdlayhow]

yeah, but this ways cooler :P

[4bidenSkyProductions]

you have a point

[SouthernersSax]

But that isn't nearly as nerdy (i.e. awesome)!

I'd hit it! :P

[olds442power]

uuber insane!

[frozon2]

kwl

[pakedskeezer]

that machine roxx.. ;)

[stev231]

you should have contaners for the lego that way it won't have to stay on the sorter

[coolasia069]

man you have so much free time just to do make that lol and nice machine

[schuter904]

we have things like this in school only there not legos but we can do the same stuff. we had to sort out marbles. great job

[tiggerbiggo]

Tha color sorter

[someone2000000]

hi i love this invention it must have taken some time though. umm how does ur rcx know where the tray is to move it to the right position cus there must be many variables.

[LiberatedBeast]

i think it´s a bit unfirm, but very nice (;

[AlbrechtMaier]

very good job, now its time too speed it up!!!

[GENGHISMIND]

respectS

[Dpark95]

wow thats amazing

[cheese8996]

i see thnk you so much

[cheese8996]

seriously how does it know where to drop the legos

[Laurens200]

There are two light sensors, one detects color, the other one detects size... More info in the description of this video :)

[cheese8996]

how does it now where to drop the legos

[yupko]

magic

[wildcard252]

would it sort out m&m's?

[ncankirik]

good work...

[squigee62090]

I could find that quite useful

[pikkieV]

nice

[oneidea2112]

very cool i like your using legos to build a machine that sorts legos. very creative

[ArkitekturaMecanics]

Even if it was linear motion, perhaps the 'rows' can be shorter if there are 2 levels on each side, such tt the motor which determines the angle of the slide has 4 options, not just 2 4 this case. IN this way, the tym spent on moving along the 'rows' is less.

Just a suggestion here. I noe its just a small project. :D

[ArkitekturaMecanics]

Pretty cool. But the linear motion is rather slow n a waste of tym, hence inefficient. I prefer the circular motion approach whereby a crane-like structure turns on e turntable at diff bearings 4 e diff colors.
