Colour Sorting Robot Kit with Arduino Uno & TCS3200: A Beginner-Friendly Robotics Project That Sorts by Colour

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine a conveyor belt system that sorts parcels by colour — you can build a desktop model of that with this kit. The TCS3200 colour sensor scans any red, green, or blue object placed in front of it, and the dual-servo arm sweeps it into the correct bin. It’s your first step into industrial automation, right on your desk, with all parts tested to work together.

What You'll Build

You’ll wire the sensor and two SG90 servos on the included breadboard, mount the simple sorting arm, and upload pre-written Arduino code. The finished system detects the colour of a test object using frequency-based RGB readings, rotates the arm to the matching bin, and drops the item neatly. Along the way, you’ll adjust sensor calibration for your lighting so that every sort is reliable — exactly the kind of real-world tuning that makes a project truly yours.

What You'll Learn

• How a TCS3200 colour sensor converts light frequencies into distinct RGB values that Arduino can process
• Programming SG90 servo motors with PWM signals to achieve accurate angular movements for pick‑and‑place
• Implementing a colour-mapping algorithm using conditional logic in Arduino IDE
• Building a robust electro‑mechanical system from breadboard wiring to final arm assembly

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

From Class 5 students building their first science exhibition model to hobbyists exploring automation, this kit bridges curiosity and practical skill. It’s ideal for ATL Tinkering Labs, young innovators in school robotics clubs, and parents looking for a meaningful STEM activity at home. Even early‑college B.Tech ECE/EEE students use it to quickly prototype colour‑sorting concepts.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
