00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:02.290
TOM SCOTT: We got invited in here to build something

2
00:00:02.290 --> 00:00:04.790
that would work with the audience here in the studio,

3
00:00:04.790 --> 00:00:07.080
and the audience out there on the World Service.

4
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.200
So what we've invited -- it's a ping pong ball launcher,

5
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:14.870
and every time someone on Twitter uses the hashtag #bbcclick,

6
00:00:14.870 --> 00:00:19.080
it will release a ping pong ball from the big tube at the top.

7
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:21.290
At the end of the show, Tom here has put together

8
00:00:21.290 --> 00:00:24.870
with some motors, some LEGO, and a cardboard tube,

9
00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:29.200
a device that will send all those accumulated ping pong balls into the audience.

17
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:30.910
(LAUGHTER)

11
00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:33.580
GARETH MITCHELL, PRESENTER: So literally, that is a tweet coming in?

12
00:00:33.580 --> 00:00:36.080
So people are tweeting on the hashtag, and obviously, 

13
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:38.660
it's a red rag to a bull, you tell people on Twitter to do this,

14
00:00:38.660 --> 00:00:43.580
and the ping pong balls go absolutely crazy.

15
00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:44.950
TOM SCOTT: Three...

16
00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:29.200
AUDIENCE: Two! One!

17
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:30.910
(LAUGHTER)

18
00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:54.660
GARETH MITCHELL: It's amazing!

19
00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:58.160
(APPLAUSE)

20
00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:02.660
GARETH MITCHELL: A torrent of ping-pong balls being flung out to the audience.

21
00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:04.660
Members of the front row are literally ducking.

22
00:01:04.660 --> 00:01:08.620
I hope there aren't members of senior BBC management sitting at the front but there may well be.

23
00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:15.486
So I think it's fair to say, gentlemen over here from the London Hackspace, that has kind of worked?...
