How I Built an AI to Sort 2 Tons of Lego Pieces

quote [ For many years as a child, I did nothing but play with Lego. Eventually I had children of my own, who had a nice Lego collection themselves, but nothing you’d need machinery to sort. That changed after a trip to Legoland in Denmark. ]

You know what really kills me? Lego Land employs Master Builders. I could've played with Legos as a career! I can't be the only here that would've loved that, right?

"after I picked up my winning lots of Lego, my garage was stacked top to bottom with crates and boxes—about two metric tons, all told."

Dude bought 2000 kg of lego in one careless ebay session? By his own admission, 1 kg sells for about $10, and he claims he overbid ... so he spent over twenty grand there ...

He didn't build the machine out of legos, so it doesn't count.
