Wait l-p . hodedo. there is a fix for everything.
At least 15 years ago - a friend of mine helped design a zip code reader for USPS which operated at blinding speed even then. Now it the improved device reads everything on the address but at one time it only searched for zip codes. Could this kind of reader be adapted with Kurtzweilian robotics to do the grunt job. ? .sounds like high tech meeting the dumpster-diver, but that's the future of robotics - doing the jobs we hate to do. From: leaking pen terry, HIGH SPEED is the key. very interesting project. good luck! Terry Blanton wrote: I want to detect the bottles before they are shredded and washed. Why don't you just read the code off the bottom of the bottle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_recycling
