       | I'm out of the lego brick scanning loop. What is "bricks
       | registration"?

           | For such an incredibly cool project it's a shame

       | I saw Brickit on HN friday
       | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27693560 and played with
       | replicating the technology this week-end just for fun.
       | 
       | It renders virtual legos stacks in a pybullet environment and
       | generate synthetic data ready to be played with neural networks
       | blocks.
       | 
       | I have compiled a pybullet ready ~14000 Lego bricks dataset that
       | may be useful to you.
       | 
       | Pybullet in non-GUI can handle ~3000 simultaneous bricks.
