Lego NXT Mindstorms ball sorter Sort - O - Matic

[nikobroo]

That is fast! Well done!

[rwrtwsd]

Thank you.

[Leon707]

how would you write the algorithms sequence of written instructions to do what you have done.

[rwrtwsd]

???????????????????????

[omgdan23]

@rwrtwsd :P he meant what was your algorithim that you used to sort the balls and how did you put it together to? if you had problems XD

[Pengythetux]

is the color sensor the ultra sonic sensor or the light sensor?

[rwrtwsd]

It is the color sensor.

[ztanley4119]

and where do u found the colour sensor??

[rwrtwsd]

The color sensor came from LEGO.

[rhysvanhouten]

this doesnt actually see the balls. it just has motor movement. NO SENSORS!

[rwrtwsd]

It has a color sensor and it is actually programed to see green,red,and blue.

[rhysvanhouten]

soz its just that u shuld state that in the desc.

[rhysvanhouten]

and it would of been cheaper to use the light sensor! dur fred.

[rwrtwsd]

Yes it would have.

[inventer123456789]

ya there wicked but the full kit costs 300 big ones

[rwrtwsd]

Yes but what a great learning tool!!!

[ztanley4119]

do you use the light sensors or you just programed it??

[rwrtwsd]

When we used the light sensor, because it is pointing up, would not always work. So we are using the color sensor which was easier to program and worked consistently.

[pajlif]

lol this robot could help people who doesnt see colors =)

[findandgrind]

LOL

Them robots are wicked

[cheese8996]

oh ok ty for the answer

[cheese8996]

where did you purchase those red and blue balls

[rwrtwsd]

One red and one blue ball came with the NXT set. The rest we ordered separately from Lego.

[cheese8996]

where do you get the red and blue balls for the mindstorm do they come ine the sett or do you have to buy them sepeartly

[rwrtwsd]

Purchased them separately.

[jon1467]

Nice robot but I don't think it recognises the colours, as there is no light sensor, you've just programed it diffrently each time.

[rwrtwsd]

It is a NXT Color Sensor and was easy to program. At least it was easy for my 9 year old son. Thanks.

[spritekola]

as it is Jacob!

[leggor3]

Nice sorter.

[rwrtwsd]

Thank you.

[mavamaarten]

where is the sensor ???

VERY nice robot !

[rwrtwsd]

The ball sits on top of the sensor just before it is grabbed. Thanx for asking.

[naltsbigfannr1]

the sorting is nice but the talking is not that good or is it ur cam?

[mavamaarten]

no Lego NXT just has a bad piezo-speaker...
