Do you remember that brick sorting robot I wrote about a while ago? Well, finally it has been finished. The video will explain how it works. For more information and pictures, you can go here.
Brilliant! This is the first brick sorter I've seen that can actually do it's job without having the bricks "pre-sorted"... or at least fed in one at a time by hand. Question: how many sensors does it use?
I forgot to say, it also uses the internal rotation sensors of the NXT. I don't know if that count for your question though :-P And yes, this is amazing!

That's amazing. I could have used something like this last week as I had about 2500 pieces to sort!

I can answer that, three, 1 Phototransistor, 1 RCX Light sensor, and 1 NXT light sensor.

Laurens,
The entire mechanism, from top to bottom, is very, very cool.
I like the way you break things down and explain each model on your web site as well.
