Color Sorter - A LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT manipulator

This robot is inspired to the real FANUC industrial arms. It is actuated by standard RC servos, controlled by MINDSENSORS NXTservo interface.
The arm is multi-purpose, and in this application, it is used to sort balls by color. More at http://robotics.benedettelli.com

@noudgoertz

There exist only about 20 golden NXTs, a limited exclusive release not for sale, it was a present from the LEGO Group.

gold nxt! lucky :) nah you deserve it. and this robot is amazing. you always seem to find a way to make stuff look good and simple and function awesome.

arent there only 10 gold NXTs ? or maybe it was 100. either way those things are awesome.

@megamindstorm101, the golden NXT are only about 20, and were a present for us MCP from TLG.

[megamindstorm101]

@mentulatus ah 20 :) either way fantastic robot and fantastic brick. some day I plan on becoming an mcp. they took out the junior mdp i think so I have to wait until I am 18....bummer.

Molto elegante. Sai dirmi da quanto esiste Mindsensors?

[Hack3r91]

@MindFreaks13 I'm pretty sure it detects the colors.
