A High-Speed M&M Sorting Machine that Captures the Color of the Falling Candy Using an iPhone

Reviewmylife created a new take on the typical candy-sorting machine with a high-speed version that uses an iPhone to capture the color of the M&Ms as they fall down the chute, firing off a gate that sends them into the correct pot.

Even though this is just a rough prototype it is reasonably fast because the colour recognition and path that the M&M takes down the chute is decided and determined whilst the M&M is moving under gravity.
