Lego is incredible stuff. It’s a toy, it’s plastic, it’s a bit naff. But it’s also amazingly versatile and pleases both adults and children. I just wish there were some some way to automatically sort it…
Believe it or not there is. And it’s this machine, which is a giant Lego sorting plant. It was built by a team of engineers at BrickIt, who were commissioned to do so by a company named Dynaway.
It’s made out of Lego itself, and from the look of this video it works amazingly well.The machine sorts Lego bricks based on size and color.
The BrickIt lego sorting plant took 37,500 Lego bricks, 28 motors, and a load of other stuff normal folk like you and I won’t understand. Was it worth it? Probably not, but it makes for an awesome demonstration of what can be achieved with Lego.
