Final Project - Lego Color Sorter

Idea - Lego Color Sorter

I spent parts quarantine sorting my lego collection and realized that there should be a better way to do it. I thought that this would be a good opportunity to make a machine to sort my collection. Similar machines have been made; in the link below there is a video about a machine that sorts legos by type and depostis the legos into bins.
Here is a link to that video


in that video he identfys 3 main problems in sorting legos atomaticly They are
- geting a single peace at a time from a pile(the fillter)
- identify the peace in the video he uses ai I dont know what i will do for this yet(the sort)
- puting the items in there designated bins(the place)

I agree that these are the tree big chalinges in aotomated lego sorting

My Plan

1. The Sort -this is the device that identifys the lego brick as a color
2. The Place -This is the device that will take the identifyed part and place it in its corisponding bin
3. The fillter -The is the mecinsm that will take one peace from the pile
