Slow Motion Video Of A Tomato Sorting Robot
This incredibly fast robot/machine sorts tomato on the fly by swatting down underripe tomatoes. The ripe tomatoes make it to a bath while the slightly yellowed ones go to a reject bin. Video of the TOMRA Sentinel II tomato sorting machine after the break.
1:3 Scale RC Truck – The Mammuth Rewarron

Lily Camera – Crash & Burn
Update as of 1/12/2017. After raising nearly $34-million in funding and pre-orders the Lily Drone Project is dead. Refunds to come for those who placed pre-orders. As much fun as it is flying/controlling your own quadcopter/drone there are times when “follow me” technology is the way to go. I think that is one of […]
