You might remember this Fanuc pick and place robot from a post last year:

Not bad, right? Well, since then someone’s gone and cranked it up to nutso:

Wow. Good thing sorting Skittles isn’t a real job, or I’d be looking at unemployment right now.

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.
