    I just read the articles from the winners of the contest, and I was
    wondering if any of them, or anyone at all, for that matter, has a
    video online of the M&M Sorter in action? Perhaps a link? =)

    Well you can try to load my crude video at
    http://www.earl.bollinger.net/Robotics/MandMA.MPG
    and see what one looks like when it is running.
    Unfortunately, I screwed up and missed the deadline.
    But then I really wanted it for my office desk anyway, so it wasn't a
    disaster for me. My problem is having any M&M's to demo it with, people
    tend to grab a handful from time to time. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Earl...THANKS! While a crude quality, I did get to
    see what one of these looks like running. From
    looking at the original large picture on the website,
    I had drawn a mental picture of how it would move the
    M&Ms around the tray, but hadn't actually seen it
    until now.

    > Unfortunately, I screwed up and missed the deadline.

    Me too! I wanted to get one, but by the time I
    realized it, the contest was under way, and I knew I
    would miss the deadline. I still may pick one up as a
    conversation piece at my shop.

    I could see where that might become a problem! =)
