Counting the beans, or by weight? (Or I suppose you could 3D scan each bean as it goes past to measure volume for extra credit)

I won't be getting extra credit! My plan right now is to go by weight, and my first attempt is going to have beans in a hopper, moved by an auger that slows down as it approaches the target weight ( ideally moving a bean at a time at the end, to get within a bean of the goal (ideally).
