M&M Sorter 9000

An m&m sorting machine using the color sensor to identify the m&ms

By Parker

The m&m sorter 9000 uses a wheel like mechanism to move individual m&ms in to a holding chamber where a color sensor detects what color it is. the color sensor works using a machine learning algorithm (the one we used in on of the notebooks) to accurately determine the color of each m&m. after the color is determined, the compartments into which the m&ms are sorted are rotated so that the correct compartment is directly under the holding chamber. the servo then opens, allowing the m&m to fall into its appropriate compartment.
