1. A diversion assembly for use with at least one detector, and a control system to receive a detection signal from the at least one detector and formulate one or more instructions based thereupon, the diversion assembly comprising:
a first conveyor to travel to a first area;
a second conveyor to travel to a second area, the second area to be spaced apart from the first area;
at least one flow diverter assembly each comprising an actuator and a flow diverter, the actuator to cause the flow diverter to move into engagement with a flow of feed material to cause the flow of feed material to be deposited on the first conveyor or to move out of engagement with the flow to cause the flow of feed material to be deposited on the second conveyor based at least in part upon information obtained by the at least one detector; and
at least one drive controller connected to the at least one flow diverter assembly, the at least one drive controller to receive the one or more instructions formulated by the control system, the at least one drive controller to send one or more movement instructions based at least in part on the one or more instructions to the actuator of each of the at least one flow diverter assembly, which performs the one or more movement instructions, the one or more movement instructions to comprise one or more time curves.
