Two men have built a popcorn-making robot that serves up a new batch whenever someone mentions #popcorn on Twitter.
Popcorn Tweets was created by Dave Britt and Justin Goeres as their entry into a contest held by popcorn manufacturer Fireworks Popcorn. The pair writes of the invention:
“A custom LabVIEW program polls Twitter for any mention of #popcorn, and for each Tweet, activates a LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot to power some Rube Goldberg sort of contraption that makes popcorn one Tweet at a time. “
We sure hope it’s turned off right now, or the two inventors may be in for a hailstorm of #popcorn tweets.
