I want to do this ever since my son got his first Lego pieces. It is amazing how quickly you can evoke the impression of chaos with lots of tiny Lego pieces (my machine should also hover the pieces off the floor before sorting them).
Hopefully Lego Mindstorms will be up to the task, I still haven't bought one, though.
I think easiest would be to sort by weight first. But the pure mechanical approach of a sieve is attractive, too. Might be a good project for trying out a laser cutter.
- seclorum 15y agoI have access to a laser cutter, this is exactly what I had in mind - to create a set of masks that would, layered upon each other, filter out each part until they're sorted. Rather a large effort, though .. and I wonder if there is a way to model this without having to laser-cut a lot of test pieces. Well, I think about it every time we end a Lego Mindstorms session in my house, anyway .. ;)
