OCD Robot Sorts Candy By Color, Forever

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 23 of November , 2009 at 12:37 am

This FANUC robot has an immensely satisfying job: it sorts candy (they say pills, but it looks like candy to me) into little jars by color, and then pours them all out again and starts over. It will happily keep doing this until you shut it off, kinda like me with M&Ms at Halloween… Because if I don’t sort them by color and then eat the colors I have more of to make sure that everything is even, the world ends.

Yeah. Those look a lot like skittles to me.

I wonder I can have one of these, as I don’t eat no candy or pills other than the yellow ones.
