How many distinct Lego parts are there? Assuming they're all sorted into separate bins, picking them doesn't seem too hard. I guess sorting + putting them in the right bins would require something more complex. Surely there's a way.

About 40,000 shapes, about 100 different colors.

And picking them is stupendously hard due to the large variety in shapes and sizes.

Ah I see. Looks like that ideal setup is a ways off. It would be really cool to see it happen some day!
