The Hybrid Brick Sorter - NXT 2.0 Discovery Book update
This is one of the robot projects that you can build with "The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 Discovery Book - A Beginner's Guide to Building and Programming Robots".
The Hybrid Brick Sorter sorts LEGO bricks by four colors and two sizes. Chapter 14 in the book will tell you all about this robot: how it identifies a bricks color and size; how to build it and how to program it. You'll also find various challenges to further expand on the robot program and design.
Learn more about the book here, or pre-order the book here. It will be available in April.

Andy,
Part of the book is about cool robots as in this video, but another big part (not shown here) is entirely devoted to learning to work with the NXT and to learn how to program.
Each of the programming sections are built up this way:
1. explanation;
2. programming trick in action;
3. programming challenges
(but on difficult sections I have an additional in action program even before the explanation, to visualize a new concept, i.e. data wires)
I have several building challenges as well. I'm setting up a companion website where readers can share their solutions to the challenges 'Discoveries'.
A list of the robots in the book (8) is found here:
