Color Sorting Robot


Color Sorting Robot
            Our group did the color-sorting robot. 

The total completion time was approximately 3 hours. The structure consisted of a conveyor belt that allowed the sorter to move, the main terminal that had the program, and many different motors and sensors. The program was fairly long, and it worked like this:
   1)   The program starts. The user can scan different color bricks through a color sensor and load them into the sorter.
   2)   After all bricks have been loaded, the sorter moves to a designated area and drop a certain colored brick in.
   3)   The sorter moves back to the starting position, where it bumps against a touch sensor.
   4)   When it bumps against this sensor, the program tells the sorter to move to the next color. This cycle repeats until all bricks have been sorted.
     **NOTE that we are holding down the wire in the back so that is doesn't get caught in any of the gears-we are NOT controlling it that way**
