A comment on Lego Axle Sorter [video]. Parent comment
Some problems that you will run in to:
- the timing will need to be very precise
- you will likely need sensors before the stations
- Lego bricks come in all shapes and sizes and will respond unpredictably to air currents
- you will need a way to arrest momentum or they'll shoot right back out
Still, this is orders of magnitude faster than my contraption if you can get it work.
