I Want This Lego Christmas M&M Sorting Machine Right Now


People, I don’t know about you, but I always wanted a quick way to separate the blue M&Ms from the rest. This is perfect for that: a Lego Mindstorms machine that uses its colour sensors to sort M&Ms by colour.

Reader Jan “Nxe1engineer” Gerritsen just sent me this message with the video above:

Here is a very nice video of a Lego machine, It’s sorting M&M for the children. It contains a Christmas greet too, and lots of humour.

Well, thank you again Jan for the second best use ever of Lego Mindstroms ever in the history of best uses of Lego Mindstorms ever. Jan was also the person who came up with the best use of Lego Mindstroms ever in the history of best uses of Lego Mindstorms ever: a Lego beer machine!

I want both. [Thanks Jan!]
