Computer Vision Inventor - LEGO Mindstorms

The goal of this project is to program a robotic arm to connect to a webcam, analyze the video to find a red ball, and then grab the ball. The program is written in python. A longer description and (paid) instructions and documentation (including a detailed explanation of the code) can be found at

Very impressive! Recently got the Mindstorms 51515 set, and have been thinking about building robotic arms, especially since these motors are so lightweight.
The vision part of it, however, has been a huge question mark for me, but I never thought about just using the macbook's camera instead of trying to attach a camera to the robot. So, thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks! It’s great to hear that I’ve given you an idea!

It is Python 3 using the openCV library and running in MacOS Terminal.

Wow 😮, next try to code that you can throw the ball and it will catch it!

[@eddieyoung5613]

Thank you! Great suggestion. That was the original idea but it seems Lego is still too slow for that. 😔
