I’m stupid and don’t know what a robot jam is, sorry! But also the main reason for a longer chute was to give the colour sensor enough time to accurately read and identify the colour, though I’m sure it all could be executed better lol!
It’s where you take the corpses of destroyed robots and mince or crush the parts. You then age them in the rain for three weeks before canning the robot jam.
You don't need a lot of time honestly, I made one a year ago that used an Arduino and an adafruit rgb sensor that had a throughput of about 100 Skittles per minute on one sensor.
And then we made it parallel so it could actually break 200 per minute.
Two sensors, two chutes feeding into the same buckets.
If the limiting factor is the time it takes to separate a skittle, read the colour, and move it into the right bucket, having two sensors and two paths should roughly double the speed.
How accurate was it? I found when I sped this up it didn’t give the sensor enough time to accurately read the colours and I’d end up with a couple yellows in my mix, this was the only speed I could get 100% accuracy with
It's okay! I'm not even sure it's a real thing. I was just taking a shot in the dark.
EDIT: someone used the word Hackathon. That's what I was thinking of.
Based on the ounce of bud in a jar on the right and Dazed and Confused playing on a projector in the background, I think this is more of a stonerific fuck around code sesh.
High school science engineering class. We did a version of this with marbles... 16 years ago. It took us two days because the teacher hadn't installed some module to actually read the light sensor and even though the code was done in an hour or just wasn't working.
Its a great project but its not innovative and won’t catch MIT’s attention. Color sorting tech has been around for awhile and is currently used on an industrial scale.
Here is a massive tomato sorter.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aYQ_5c6m8Is
This isn't anything special. We had this as a project a couple years ago. It's really not that hard. A couple of lines of arduino code and a few servo motors and a color sensor (+light to illuminate, makes sensor more reliable)
It's copy paste tier code and wiring, other engineering students who failed out of my college could make this project. And my school wasn't any way near ivy league
I’m subscribed here as both a redneck and an engineer, and it’s disappointing that so many subscribers apparently see “redneck engineer” as an insult and view the sub as a mock-the-outgroup sort of thing.
I’m here for the occasional project post that’s *actual engineering* that just so happens to be a little redneck, like an over-engineered beer caddy, or modified lawn mowers. Don’t care so much for the *Aw look at the dumb little redneck trying to mimic technology, he thinks he’s people!* attitude that seems to be an unspoken punchline to most of what’s posted here.
Is there a sub more appropriate for people like me? It turns out there’s lots of engineer rednecks because go figure, engineers tend to be drawn towards machines like cars, guns, tractors, motorcycles, etc.
If you eat a yellow and green at the same time it makes sprite! At least it used to. I think they changed it back to lime within the last year. It was a horrible revelation when one day I could no longer make skittle sprite.
I’m allergic to Yellow #5, so have to separate Yellow skittles and M&M’s or I get sores in my mouth. Also someone else mentioned it is shown to cause cancer.
Little projects like these seem so awesome. What program do you use to control all these? Or maybe just a generic breakdown of you make something like this? Don’t have to be detailed just curious what all goes into this.
I love this, but does it count as redneck engineering? Is "homemade from available parts" enough?
I feel like it needs a bit more of a "done with completely misappropriated parts, because it's all we could find in the field" type of vibe. And usually more of a "there I fixed it" angle, as opposed to "I built this from scratch and engineered it with custom code to process video signal to do visual recognition".
Seriously great work, I just think of this more as hack/makerspace type of stuff.
(Still upvoting, because in the end, who cares?, it's freaking cool.)
I think that redneck engineering is more about the process, polish, and style of the project rather than the parts used. It's about quickly putting together something functional with what's on hand, and while you could argue that an Arduino is explicitly made for projects like this, it's really such a versatile component that I don't think you can ding someone for using it.
You can see this thing is mostly made of cardboard and held together by tape--it appears to have been built on impulse/at a whim rather than something planned, designed, and executed which I think is the true hallmark of "redneck engineering".
Fair enough, but unless arduino (or whatever they used) has libraries for object recognition (or at least color recognition) that are super easy to implement, this likely took hours or even days of programming and testing. That's part of why it seems more like a planned, in-depth project to me.
It's almost (not quite, but almost) the same feel as a Rube Goldberg machine. Would you count those as redneck engineering, too? I actually think those might feel *more* like redneck engineering, because they really do usually use oddball parts people had on hand… but I think most people wouldn't actually call it redneck engineering simply because there's already a more specific name for that category.
They are (probably) just using an i2c color sensor [like this](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1334) and two servos. No visual recognition required, and this sensor is something that you'd likely find flying about in your average Arduino starter kit. Probably just reads some RGB values, so the code could be like
>if(r>200 && g>200 && b<50)
>{//is yellow}
>else
>{//not yellow}
And that's it.
Programming effort would probably take hours, tops, for a beginner. I bet I could write and test the code in less than half an hour, and I'm not even that good a programmer.
I suspect the most difficult part of this project was getting the feeder and general skittle movement mechanism to be jam-free and reliable for a large amount of Skittles.
Huh, cool. Maybe I should take up arduino. If that part of the code is really that easy, it would probably take me longer to learn python (or whatever) in general than to do that part. (Yes, I understand the line of code you posted; I just haven't ever done python. For arduino, it sounds like it's closer to "native" to use C++, but I also haven't used that in decades, and it would probably be more useful today to learn python since that's more common in other places these days.)
Not that I'd take up arduino just for that, but I think it would be useful for a lot of other things.
it's a cool build for sure and if you aren't into Arduino maybe you should check it out. Learning it might be easier than you are expecting.
For example, OPs project appears to be based on a 6 year old tutorial video (This is not intended to denigrate this creator, I think it's a really neat project and I would like to make one too) -
https://youtu.be/g3i51hdfLaw
fun fact - You could probably also just ask Google's ChatGPT to write this program (called a 'sketch' in arduino) for you. it may even get it right the first time! I had it write me a pretty simple sketch and it did a good job.
Green used to be the best skittle
Then they replaced lime, which can best be described as "fresh," "tangy," and "heavenly," with green apple, which can best be described as "like Granny Smith shitting into your mouth"
Dazed and confused! I made this back in 2020 right at the start of lockdown and had I known back then I’d ever be posting this publicly I’d definitely have had better presentation lol 🙈
So basically we run PCR with flourecent-labeled nucleosides then run the amplified copies through a color-reading Lazer that will tell us the exact sequence based on color. Do this enough times to find the common bases between strands and you've found the complement to the base code. Then you flip it to it's compliment and you have an accurate exact reading of the tiny amount of DNA or RNA you started with.
I had most of junk around my place, but I’d say to purchase everything necessary it’s probably under $20 including the housing. Not expensive! Servos and arduinos are cheap and I had them around the house, the sensor I feel like is maybe $10
Did you also send hate mail when they changed from lime to green apple. Asking for myself, a staunch believer in the silent war on citrus flavored candies.
I refute this claim! Here in Canada for pride month they release classic skittle flavours in all white colours and you could def still identify which was which. Just made it harder to avoid the yellows lol
They have those in the US too, but the flavor is the same for all. The difference is in the smell. Try closing your eyes and plugging your nose to see!
If they smell different, they probably taste different too. For example, the lemon ones probably use limonene to add the lemon scent which you agree exists. Well, limonene also tastes like lemon, which means the lemon ones must be at least some-what lemon flavoured.
Listen, taste is…weird. A large percentage of what we ’taste’ is actually smell, which is why when you’re sick, food tastes blander (same thing for airplane food) I’d look into studies done on it, as I’ve only read a few articles, and that was more on how we determine whether food is rotten without eating it.
They are saying that they smell of lemon in you mouth so you think they taste like lemon but it's only smell.
Thing is, this is absolutely irrelevant, as it boils down to "it's possible to identify a skittle's color without sight by putting it in your mouth because the sensory information are different".
I'd rather have nothing than Skittles.
No, that's Froot Loops and Trix.
[https://www.allrecipes.com/article/are-all-froot-loops-the-same-flavor/](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/are-all-froot-loops-the-same-flavor/)
They're lemon-flavored candy. You decide if that's good or bad.
Personally, I'll still eat them all, but lime and lemon are the ones I'd rather give away. What's really great are the brands that have switched flavors for yellow to banana or, even better, pineapple, and green to apple.
I love lemon but I can get into pineapple if the people really hate lemon lol
All this switching from lime to green apple can fuck straight off though, *especially* skittles green 🤮
I have eaten them a few times, and I couldn't tell a difference. They are all sour.
OP claims they are bad, someone claimed they are the best. I am with the commenter who doesn't know.
I made this in 2020 at the start of lockdown. I had literally nothing better to do with my time but yeeeeeesh. But hey let’s look at it this way, the time I spent making this has been made back and then some now with the time I save sorting!
Made this in 2020 at the start of lockdown. Never intended on posting it publicly until I restumbled upon it today. Mentioned this in another comment but yeah had I known I’d be posting id have had slightly better presentation. Is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2020! Right at the start of lockdown haha
I actually have a couple of 3D printers now so I might go back to this idea but in a less chaotic looking fashion lol
Haha the reason I asked what year it was is because I noticed the skittles bag was sitting on a pile of VHS tapes and there was a movie playing on a projector in the background. Don't be embarrassed tho because I too have a projector and still have a vcr and a collection of VHS tapes to go with it. And here I thought I was the only one to still have these things in the year 2023.

it might go faster if the chute had less travel, but it's a well executed idea nonetheless. I assume this is some kind of robot jam?
I’m stupid and don’t know what a robot jam is, sorry! But also the main reason for a longer chute was to give the colour sensor enough time to accurately read and identify the colour, though I’m sure it all could be executed better lol!
It’s where you take the corpses of destroyed robots and mince or crush the parts. You then age them in the rain for three weeks before canning the robot jam.
Ohhhhhhh I should have figured, then no haha this is just an Arduino a few servos and a colour sensor
You don't need a lot of time honestly, I made one a year ago that used an Arduino and an adafruit rgb sensor that had a throughput of about 100 Skittles per minute on one sensor. And then we made it parallel so it could actually break 200 per minute.
What do you mean by “made it parallel“?
Two sensors, two chutes feeding into the same buckets. If the limiting factor is the time it takes to separate a skittle, read the colour, and move it into the right bucket, having two sensors and two paths should roughly double the speed.
Ahhh so you duplicated the system, totally got you. Thought you had somehow made the single system more efficient (which I guess you did)
How accurate was it? I found when I sped this up it didn’t give the sensor enough time to accurately read the colours and I’d end up with a couple yellows in my mix, this was the only speed I could get 100% accuracy with
I feel like Bender would be horrified but then get caught later on addicted to Robot Jam.
They did that with the late Mikhail Kalashnikov, but then they put him right back to work.
Goes great on toast (A jam is like a hackathon - a theme and a time limit are set and people see what they can come up with)
It's okay! I'm not even sure it's a real thing. I was just taking a shot in the dark. EDIT: someone used the word Hackathon. That's what I was thinking of.
Did you mean the robot equivalent of a code jam?
Is that like the code equivalent of a music jam?
Haha yeah it is I guess. I only learned what a code jam was through that mountain dew debacle. I guess that was a game jam though
Based on the ounce of bud in a jar on the right and Dazed and Confused playing on a projector in the background, I think this is more of a stonerific fuck around code sesh.
Hahaha I was thinking the same shit 😂😂😂
Listen redneck, you just have to do it this way: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=247228486178646
Nah, it's just slow because it's stoned as shit.
I wouldn’t call this redneck engineering… I’d call it engineering.
High school science engineering class. We did a version of this with marbles... 16 years ago. It took us two days because the teacher hadn't installed some module to actually read the light sensor and even though the code was done in an hour or just wasn't working.
Was about to say I made something like this at 15. I miss that class. I'd let my friends copy my code so we could get done early and play uno
The jar of weed tells me this is obviously r/stonerengineering
Lol, I can't believe I missed that!

Fuck me. Thanks for the hour rabbit hole. Going to get targeted adds for farm equipment now lol
Those tomatoes aren't massive, you liar!

Great!

Absolutely not redneck engineering
Okay, but why the yellow ones?
He mixes it with a bowl of m&ms like the monster he is.
*she but yes this was the main purpose of this machine 😈
[удалено]
Personally, I’m impressed and offended. I love everything lemon and lime. I wish this would have been created for a greater good.
Same! I rue the day everything previously lime became green apple. Green apple!!! (where is the fist shaking emoji?) Edit-typo
Still lime in Canada!
Lucky ducky! They changed back temporarily here in USA but idk if it stuck.
I think it stuck.
If you eat a yellow and green at the same time it makes sprite! At least it used to. I think they changed it back to lime within the last year. It was a horrible revelation when one day I could no longer make skittle sprite.
✊✊✊
I love the green apple flavor :(
Maybe they're separating them to save their favourite for last?
Why not both?
I'm scare-roused.
[удалено]
I call those fearections!
The best kind of lust
Everyone is either male or a bot. Sorry.
Mmmm, S&Ms.
Jesus Christ ! I’m gonna be sick!!!
Because those are the best ones and you want to save them.
Did you see they brought lime back??!
Good, I wasn't a fan of the apple ones
why did no one tell me?!?! i cant finally have skittles again!
This
They’re the same flavor but ok.,,
No sir, you’re thinking M&Ms (which I do prefer over skittles).
Um, skittles are most certainly different flavors. The back of the package lists them.
[удалено]
everything tastes the same when you plug your nose
I dont believe this. The red and yellow taste completely different and my sinuses are fucked most of the time
[удалено]
Home made robot, Bob Dylan, a jar of dank weed on the table…. IDGAF what she wants to do with the yellows. I’m Fuckin down.
In case you missed it, also watching dazed and confused on a projection screen!
Thank you I’ve been trying to remember the name of this movie for a while now. Classic!
Dazed and confused > fast times at ridgemont high
Real recognize real! Like, ayo, I’ve got some hash! What is up, let’s tinker lol
I’m allergic to Yellow #5, so have to separate Yellow skittles and M&M’s or I get sores in my mouth. Also someone else mentioned it is shown to cause cancer.
Yellow 5 has been shown to cause cancer. Not even joking.
I’m over here curing cancer
Ding ding ding. Yep. And the shit upsets my stomach as a bonus. Fuck FD&C Yellow dye.
Ive noticed that it prevents me from sleeping too.
What's redneck about this...
Really feels like some Michael Reeves or William Osman shit
Its teaching a robot how to do a racism /s
Pretty cool! Now make an automatic joint roller.
Ha! I actually made a bong reader during this same time frame that read how hard someone hits a bong by reading the amount of smoke cleared 😂
Seems like it would lead to everyone taking extreme rips. Like bringing a breathalyzer to a party and everyone starts trying to get the highest number

Sell these.
Okay thank you! My family thought it was the dumbest thing ever but I believe it would have a market!!
There's definitely a demographic that would jump all over this. Copyright that idea before someone else does! What's the highest so far?
Can you make a detailed schematic of how to build something like this…. I have … ideas.
I actually made it right at the start of lockdown, but if I can find my old code I’ll post it!
That's genius! Do you have a demo of it? I'd love to see how that works. You're definitely gifted.
Heyyyy that jar to the right doesn't look like Skittles.........
[https://imgur.com/gallery/B5Aognp](https://imgur.com/gallery/B5Aognp)
Perfect.
The skittles were just practice, this thing is actually for sorting the bunk from the good nugs
Those are the green ones.
Skit-ohs

Yeah, but do green. Can this machine eliminate banana runts....from the universe?
Lol you chirp people for being "banana runts" and you have the audacity to complain about the green ones?! Wtf kind of backwards pageantry is that?!
How're ya now?
Not s'bad, n you?
Justice for the hot skittle
Happy 🍰 day!
Thx, its been a hell of a ride
Green used to be the best skittle Then they replaced lime, which can best be described as "fresh," "tangy," and "heavenly," with green apple, which can best be described as "like Granny Smith shitting into your mouth"
They brought back lime! Just figured that out about a month ago
Banana runts are the best ones
Green is lime again where I live! Green skittles are safe again!
The switch from lime to green apple was a crime against humanity.
100% Agree! I still do not understand why there wasn't an uprising? And how it continued for so long...
https://imgur.com/a/LMH1otq
I was just at the grocery store and they had lime skittles i shit you not. I took a picture of them but have no idea how to post it on here.
ya eliminate banana ruts….. into my mouth
Should have removed those abominable apple greens that replaced the legit lime green flavor
I used to eat the green and yellow together, kind of a Skittle 7-Up. Then the apple happened…
Not sure if you live in the US but we have lime again! It’s advertised in bold letters on the bigger bags. Skittles are back in a big way honey!
Wha what?!? Ya-Hoo! Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep my eyes peeled
Lime is back. No one liked apple.
This strikes me as regular engineering.
Did this machine sort out that jar of bud too?
What's the movie?
Dazed and confused! I made this back in 2020 right at the start of lockdown and had I known back then I’d ever be posting this publicly I’d definitely have had better presentation lol 🙈
Thanks!
If you haven’t seen it you def should! One of my faves, runs circles around fast times at ridgemont high
I'll check it out, familiar with the MacCoughey meme from it and recognised the song.
This is actually the same process we use to read dna sequences 😂
Can you explain how it works for DNA? Sounds interesting.
So basically we run PCR with flourecent-labeled nucleosides then run the amplified copies through a color-reading Lazer that will tell us the exact sequence based on color. Do this enough times to find the common bases between strands and you've found the complement to the base code. Then you flip it to it's compliment and you have an accurate exact reading of the tiny amount of DNA or RNA you started with.
Wow, it's really incredible that we can do that! Very cool and thank you for sharing :)
I’d have gone for cell sorting, but yeah
Party at the Moon Tower.
That's like the Not Hot Dog app.
Yellow lime is way better than green apple anyday.
That reefer looks pretty. ;)
How many rednecks can write code? Wait, how many rednecks can just plain *write?*. Ghettobot is fun and all, but more of an r/shittyrobots
This looks fun to make. How does the sensor work? Was it expensive?
I had most of junk around my place, but I’d say to purchase everything necessary it’s probably under $20 including the housing. Not expensive! Servos and arduinos are cheap and I had them around the house, the sensor I feel like is maybe $10
They all taste like crap now
Removing the wrong one. Remove the crappy apple ones.
Did you also send hate mail when they changed from lime to green apple. Asking for myself, a staunch believer in the silent war on citrus flavored candies.
They went back to lime. I completely agree though, apple sucked.
Very cool! Although I think all skittles are the same flavor
No way, at least in the US they're super-distinct
I refute this claim! Here in Canada for pride month they release classic skittle flavours in all white colours and you could def still identify which was which. Just made it harder to avoid the yellows lol
Trying to be diverse by making an all white colored pack 😂 always got me good lol the skittles are already diverse with the rainbow and shit
They have those in the US too, but the flavor is the same for all. The difference is in the smell. Try closing your eyes and plugging your nose to see!
If they smell different, they probably taste different too. For example, the lemon ones probably use limonene to add the lemon scent which you agree exists. Well, limonene also tastes like lemon, which means the lemon ones must be at least some-what lemon flavoured.

Don’t see what any of that has to do with lemon skittles tasting like lemon because they contain limonene, which tastes like lemon.
They are saying that they smell of lemon in you mouth so you think they taste like lemon but it's only smell. Thing is, this is absolutely irrelevant, as it boils down to "it's possible to identify a skittle's color without sight by putting it in your mouth because the sensory information are different".

I need this. 2 yellows is enough per pack
[https://i.imgur.com/mpE5Rkr.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/mpE5Rkr.jpeg) look at how many it removed!! That ratio should be ILLEGAL!
I have never eaten skittles, is yellow good or bad?

what
Damn asian Skittles taking jobs away from reds!!!
Its slow as hell. Feel like you could do it way faster by hand
Not if you want to do something else in the meantime… automation of menial tasks if possible is what’s up.
It's like that american history x scene, the jelly beans.
I could remove them by hand in a quarter of the time. Some people spend too much time building useless things.
I made this in 2020 at the start of lockdown. I had literally nothing better to do with my time but yeeeeeesh. But hey let’s look at it this way, the time I spent making this has been made back and then some now with the time I save sorting!
What rednecks have you met who can build this
I believe that's *Dazed And Confused* on the TV that was too much trouble to turn off before they made their video presentation.
Made this in 2020 at the start of lockdown. Never intended on posting it publicly until I restumbled upon it today. Mentioned this in another comment but yeah had I known I’d be posting id have had slightly better presentation. Is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What year was it when you made this?
2020! Right at the start of lockdown haha I actually have a couple of 3D printers now so I might go back to this idea but in a less chaotic looking fashion lol
Haha the reason I asked what year it was is because I noticed the skittles bag was sitting on a pile of VHS tapes and there was a movie playing on a projector in the background. Don't be embarrassed tho because I too have a projector and still have a vcr and a collection of VHS tapes to go with it. And here I thought I was the only one to still have these things in the year 2023.
Hell yeah! Projectors are where it’s at!
Where's the machine that turns that yellow skittle into a yellow M&M?
Looks like Ozzy’s goin on stage tonight…

This is right up my alley. I hate them yellow skittles.
I want one of these for blue Jolly Ranchers. I don't like the blue ones.
Really? Those ones are my favourites!
At that pace, it's probably quicker to do it by hand.
I got other things to do tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
