Using a Raspberry Pi, a color sensor, and a series of pneumatic tubes originally designed for a hamster cage, the machine scans a sock, identifies its pattern, and launches it into the appropriate bin (Stripes, Dots, Solid, or "Existential Crisis").

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on three of Doofy’s latest projects. Some are brilliant. Some are terrifying. All of them are 100% Doofy. The Goal: Doofy hates matching socks. So, for the fourth time, he is trying to build a machine that does it for him.

The FAA has been called. Not by us—by the neighbor who saw a flying robot steal a stick of butter from his windowsill. The drone returned with the butter, a jury summons, and no sandwich.

The machine works 60% of the time, every time. The other 40% of the time, it mistakes a gray sock for a cat and fires it across the room at 40mph. We have found three socks on the roof.
