The monitor showed seven seconds of footage from the second Palestinian intifada - a rock is thrown and smashes the camera lens - then seven seconds of black screen. During the black screen, the table tennis training robot powered up and pounded the monitor with ping-pong balls. Some were returned, others bounced randomly.
