If you love Skittles and M&Ms, but you hate how they don’t normally come in separated colors—electrical engineer Brian Egenriether created a machine that sorts your candy for you.

With the use of a BASIC Stamp 2 and 3 servos, an infrared LED and phototransistor, parts from a hummingbird feeder and a telescope, and PVC, Egenriether put the machine together.
