Getting started with the idea...

My intention is to:

1. Use the webcam to look at a 3x3 grid of randomly coloured Lego bricks, the position of the grid will always be the same to help keep the robot arm movement simple.

2. Identify the colour of each Lego brick using the webcam; I'm thinking about using the webcam to take a bitmap picture and look at each bricks location in tern to determine its colour.

3. Determine which colour pile that brick should be put into using C#

4. Use the robot arm to pick up each block and put it into the correct coloured pile

The component parts...
