Build: Color 5orter

Tired of sorting your beams by color? The Color 5orter is here to help!

With a large shaft to put all your length 3 or length 5 beams in, the color sorter will detect the color of the beam and put it in one of the 3 sorting bins. All other colors are put in the 'spill over' bin, which can be sorted in the next round.

Key Features:
  1. Rotating bin carousel, the top stays stationary.
  2. Dynamic color assignment to bins (the first 3 colors are assigned a bin, the others are put in the 'spill over' bin). Python.
  3. Remote control (smart phone) program which allows you to manually control the sorter, and easily see which color is before the sensor.
  4. Elegant and simple design. Using only 2 motors and the color sensor.
