Ball Pit, Phase II
I posted a while back about a ball pit I’d installed in my room. Everything in that post was true, but the pictures were a little misleading.
Looking at that, you don’t necessarily realize how cramped those people are. I framed the pictures to make it look larger than it actually was (THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID). In fact, the ball pit was only about the size of a large bathtub or small jacuzzi. In the pictures on the site, it was barely deep enough to be buried in, and when we shrunk the area to make it deeper, it was barely big enough for two people.
When people came in and saw it, they were always startled at how small it was (also what she said). There was no room for hide and seek, and barely even space for surreptitious ball-pit groping. This was a terrible state of affairs. It was nice to sit in, but really, why bother having a ball pit if we were gonna do such a half-assed job of it?
Well, as of this week, the situation has been rectified.
We all chipped in and quintupled the volume of the ball pit. It’s now set up opposite a hacked-together server-projector system (yes, that means Guitar Hero in the ball pit — that’s a controller you see on the left). It’s lined with blankets and foam padding, and is oh so comfortable. We’ve had two people fall asleep in it already.
For sanitary reasons, we of course have a few rules:
It’s still only half the size of the recently-constructed Last.fm ballpit. But it’s finally big enough to really hide in, stretch out, and grab someone’s ass without them being sure who did it.
On the other hand, it has the slightly unnerving effect that we now have no idea how many people are in the apartment at any given time.
For science, the next experiment will be “what do cats think of ball pits?”

You may want to add a couple of items to the sign before letting the cats in.
February 27th, 2008 at 5:27 am
That sign is made of win.
February 27th, 2008 at 5:39 am
How much did you have to put down for it? (that’s what she said).
I think I originally did the calculations to fill my entire room but that actually looks feasible.
February 27th, 2008 at 5:39 am
How strong are the walls / joints? Individually they look fine, but they don’t (as a whole) look entirely structurally sound!
February 27th, 2008 at 5:44 am
> How strong are the walls / joints? Individually they look fine, but they don’t (as a whole) look entirely structurally sound!
They are held together by many zip ties at each joint, and overall it’s very sturdy (after a couple initial blunders). They’re anchored to the walls by rope — I drilled some blocks into the baseboard with pegs to hook onto.

If I wasn’t such a poor college student, I would loft my bed and build a ball pit underneath. As it is, my friends are thinking of pitching in so can I build one. And there’s nothing in the student handbook about ball pits being contraband, so I assume it’d be okay… right?

I love that robe/wizard hat guy. It took me a moment to realize that that wasn’t your joke, Randall. It’s certainly the type that could have been.

> Where can I buy cheap ball pit balls? I plan on building one of these in my dorm room.
You’re not gonna get cheaper than 10 cents per ball, as far as I can tell, and I don’t really know who the best suppliers are. eBay is no good — you need at least 1,000-2,000 for a ball pit that’s worth anything. I recommend calling toy stores and places that might have ball pits and asking them to forward you. I got mine from TinkerTots, because they had a decent deal on crush-proof balls, which were strongly recommended to me (you can jump around in the pit and not worry about them). But they cost more.
February 27th, 2008 at 7:18 am
I love how there is already some on the floor. I don’t envy you the inevitable constant picking up of balls.
(and again that’s what she said)
February 27th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Yeah, “I put on my robe and wizard hat”. It’s awesome because *it feels so right*. Deep down I always suspected that was actually him in that chat. So naturally I laughed like a crazy person when I saw the sign.
February 27th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Awesome :D We don’t have Guitar Hero in ours yet. That sucks.
I already made my own version of the “no heavy petting sign”.. not quite as cool as that one (I have no drawing talent) but mine does utilise Lemonparty…

I suspect a cat would think “Wow, what a nice litter box!”
February 27th, 2008 at 8:50 am
I can imagine a cat in there would immediately use the balls to form a unified theory of physics (and thus take over the world)
February 27th, 2008 at 8:50 am

And sadly, I didn’t catch the bash reference until I had actually read the link posted above. And I had even read it before. I’m obviously not a big enough geek. *hangs his head in shame*

Please let me know when you plan to do the cat experiment. I need time to invest in the companies that make Neosporin and Bactine.
February 27th, 2008 at 9:23 am
When I was a kid I used to always imagine living in a house that had a room that was filled with water. There was a little door you could crawl through way up high, and only a few feet of space between the water and the ceiling so you could breathe.
Also, one of the rooms’ floors was entirely made out of mattress. It was a Bed Room.
Please make these happen too. :-D
February 27th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I fell asleep in our ballpit after the epic “clean-up” operation.
I woke up freezing and partially asphyxiated. The balls apparently don’t insulate heat and also are somewhat too packed for adequate carbon dioxide dissipation.
Conclusion: not recommended!
February 27th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Hey, I noticed above that you stated “you need 1,000-2,000 balls for the pit to be worth anything”…how many balls does the pit you have now have in it? Was the 1,000-2,000 ball number for the first iteration of said pit, or this new one?
Great idea, something I’m going to look into installing in my apartment one of these days…
Big XKCD fan by the way! Read it every day! Keep up the great work.

What a waste. You’ll have fun with it for a year or two, but that plastic will be here forever. What about the materials and energy that went into creating it? Where will it be in 10, 100 years? http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/Ocean/Moore-Trashed-PacificNov03.htm
February 27th, 2008 at 10:52 am
If it makes you feel any better, I doubt this is a “do it for one year and leave it” sort of thing. While I can’t speak for the XKCD crew, I was thinking it would be fun to have in my apartment, then when I (someday) have kids they could have a blast with it. As long as the balls are usable, they will be used. Trust me, if a geek invests in a ball pit, it will get more than it’s fair share of use…Here’s to hoping it really will be here forever…

I can tell you from experience that cats HATE ball pits. Granted, I only have a two cat sample size, but they told me in no uncertain terms that they speak for the rest of the cat community.
February 27th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I’d suggest building a subterranean ball pit going at least 10 feet deep with a hot air pipe spewing air from the bottom up, it would be very comfortable to sleep in and you get the wonderful sensation of being buried alive.

I second the videotaping of the cat experiment. I think the cat would be smart enough to climb out on the makeshift metal fence, once it stopped flailing about and sank to the bottom, then found its way to the edge. On the other hand, it may just sit there and wait for you in a cold fury, in which case you would have to extract it manually. I suspect it’ll be a lot like going into a shark tank blindfolded.
Good luck with that.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Janeane Garofalo causes great conflict within me. On the one hand she is made of hotness. Oh. Yeah. On the other hand, she smokes. Smoking is the anti-hotness as far as I’m concerned except… she’s still hot. Can it be that I actually tolerate smokers? That I actually find smoking (gulp) attractive under some circumstances? Say it ain’t so!

“Was the 1,000-2,000 ball number for the first iteration of said pit, or this new one?” I really want to know the answer to that. I checked Tinker Tots and it’s about twenty cents a ball for crush-proof. With one or two thousand balls that only runs you up about $400 tops, which I would totally be willing to pay for a good-sized ball pit. But as you’re approaching the thousand-dollar range, my willingness decreases.
February 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
If the cat gets lost in the ball pit… and Randall loses a small radioactive substance in the pit (which I’m sure he has just lying around), and he also loses a geiger counter connected to a hammer and flask of hydrocyanic acid (which he would ALSO just have lying around… does the cat both enjoy and not enjoy the ball pit at the same time?
February 27th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I don’t see why one would outlaw heavy petting - although the ball marks might leave some explaining to do… when I saw the first installment, I have to admit, it was one of the first things I thought!!!

February 27th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Sorry to double post, but our tests have generally proven that cats hate ball pits. Probably because they are afraid of the prospects of people not knowing that they’re in there. I bet dogs would be more likely to enjoy it. But I have no test subjects for that.
February 27th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
“On the other hand, it may just sit there and wait for you in a cold fury, in which case you would have to extract it manually.”
Would cats actually sink through the balls? Would they dig? If the above is true, then sending ball-pitted cats (via eBay) would be an interesting way to conduct a ball pit war. Alternatively, use the Schrodinger-cat effect to introduce uncertainty in the cat’s position, causing it to spontaneously move to another ball pit. I wonder about the aerodynamic properties of ball pit balls — would they be strong enough to shoot into low orbit and send raining down upon hapless inhabitants of other ball pits? Maybe all ball pits around the world are the same and connected to a secret ball-pit dimension.

Hey Randall, i have no idea if you personally read these comments, or if the robot now does that too. I’m a recent convert to your strip, and i’ve found even more jewels of awesomeness in your blog. These days i go to class, do homework, and wait for every other day so that a new xkcd comic will make it out. I’m seriously reconsidering the value of the weekend. My better two thirds are currently at different Boston/Cambridge colleges. I’m not in a very complicated, emotionally invested threesome, i’m one part of a set of triplets. Please don’t do any strips on making out with sharers of a womb. I’m looking into building a ball pit of my own.

February 28th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I’ve figured out that it would cost about $700 to fill my room from floor to ceiling (7 feet deep).
To prevent balls from spilling out of the door when it was opened, I could have a turnstile just inside the door, with the bars spaced closely enough that the balls couldn’t fit through the gaps. Of course, one would have to reduce the density with which the balls were packed in order to keep them from getting stuck in the turnstile and completely blocking access to the room.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Oh my gosh. I need to see your cat experiment!!! Make sure to take lots of pictures!

Lovin’ the Bash reference. Also, how long before someone hides in the ball pit to attack unsuspecting guests, then someone enters the room and jumps straight in the ball pit, crushing them?
February 28th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Lovely.
It’d be super annoying to have to look for car keys or cell phones in that though, so maybe you want to add something to your sign about leaving small personal belongings (that excludes body parts, before anyone starts that’s-what-she-said-ing) outside the pit.
February 28th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Just for calculations, how many balls are required to fill / can fit inside 1 cubic foot? I want balls so bad, but just need and idea of how many to fill my space.

First of all, it would probably cost more than that. Also, if you filled the room completely, with any stable packing, you wouldn’t be able to turn the turnstile or even move into the room. Even if you managed that, the balls would fall out as the turnstile turned. Sorry for poking holes in your fantasy. :)

@Cesium:
noooo, I think you would discover that cats too would quickly refine the ability to hover - have you ever tried to put a cat near a vacuum? In a bathtub? It’s amazing they way they can defy gravity.
How deep is the ballpit? I’ve seen cats ploofed into snow, and they just bounce about unhappily until they find solid footing - but ball pits offer semi-footing, and the cat wouldn’t immediately hit “bottom”, depending on the depth. Hmmmm…. I am seriously intrigued by this “Ballpit part III - the Cat Dimension” experimental foray.
February 29th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
All that you guys are going to realize about the cat is that it will walk upon the top, kinda like a non-Newtonian fluid

I ROFLed when I read the “I put on my robe and wizard hat” sign.
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Moar pix plx!! ;-D
Seriously, I want to see more of the pit! How much does it fill in your apartment?
March 2nd, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Turnstile guy (girl? Cant’ find the post now): You can fill your room half way up and put in a child gate ($20) to step over. Less complicated than a turnstile, and a lot less balls. Can’t believe people aren’t making more balls jokes about this one.
March 2nd, 2008 at 10:55 pm
I think that any cat in a ball pit would be tempted to assume itself a mathematical sphere, so it could camouflage itself among the balls and exact its revenge on its owner…I wonder if that only works in theory….
March 3rd, 2008 at 12:23 am
Seriously, someone needs to make a formula for how much a ball pit will cost, based on area, depth, and crush-proofing. Because I definitely want to build one, but Ii have no idea how much it’d cost.
Oh, and I instantly recognized the robe & wizard hat reference… I spend way too much time on bash.org… I get 2-3 quotes I’ve read before when I hit “random” now.

Today’s comic: Priceless.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:42 am
Today’s comic is the one most significant step towards world peace, or at least towards my personal peace when interacting with 14 year olds, that I have seen in my life.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:46 am
“Turnstile guy (girl? Cant’ find the post now): You can fill your room half way up and put in a child gate ($20) to step over.”
So, kinda like the one in the comic? Randall’s waaay ahead of you.
“I think that any cat in a ball pit would be tempted to assume itself a mathematical sphere, so it could camouflage itself among the balls and exact its revenge on its owner…I wonder if that only works in theory….”
I assume its volume and thus diameter would be rather greater than that of the other balls. Either that or it can control its own density, in which case it could just turn into a black hole and get its revenge in a much cooler way.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:30 am
About your new comic.. I hate you.. I lost the game because of you.. I hadn’t lost the game in like 2 days.. Now I have..

I put on my robe and wizard hat!…
however, NOT for the Socialist Janeane Garafalo.
Here are a few Garafalo quotes for you:
“Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, ‘Oh my God, you’re insulting me.’”
“When Communist USSR was a superpower, the world was better off.”
Sure ball pits are a party, but lets keep them separate from the Communist party thanks.

Ooo I am so jealous! Still anxious for the day I get my own.
It strikes me that I am awfully similar to the main girl in your comics. This is odd.
Either way, the ‘won the game’ comic has bothered my subconscious. I don’t know how to feel. YOU’VE MESSED WITH MY MIND
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:49 pm
it occurs to me a potential downside to the ball pit…
does this not create a perfect velociraptor hiding spot INSIDE your house?
…just something to keep you up at night.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
I think you should team up with the guys from LOLCATZ (check em out at http://www.icanhascheezburger.com) and get photos and captions for cats in the ballpit. That would be freaking hilarious.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Something my professor of fluida and soft matter mentioned (and I extended):
If you would put a device in the balls which could charge them positive or negative alternatively on command, the balls would form a macroscopic crystalline structure from which it would be virtually impossible to escape. Could be very handy if things get out of hand.
And of course with reference to Jess’s comment, it would be ideal for trapping raptors (not even Randall could go up against such an argument).
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
“If you would put a device in the balls which could charge them positive or negative alternatively on command, the balls would form a macroscopic crystalline structure from which it would be virtually impossible to escape. Could be very handy if things get out of hand.”
Not to mention the process of creating the charges might well involve transferring large quantities of electrons between the balls, thus instantly revealing whether velociraptors or cats are hiding in the pit.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 pm
[...] for one, hope that this becomes a growing trend. It’s entirely unjust that playpen ballpits discriminate against grownups, and [...]
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I’m curious as to whether or not you could build up a ball pit by putting in various sized balls - for example, if the standard ball volume is V, a layer of perhaps 3V balls, then 2.5 V, 2 V, 1.5 V, and then fill in the rest with V. That way you still get the ball pit pleasure, but a far lower cost… perhaps. I don’t know if they sell such ball pit balls, but it’d be interesting to look into :)
March 4th, 2008 at 10:32 am
After using the calulator, it seems like the balls in that pit would only cost ~590 dollars. Granted $590 is not a trivial amount of money, but it’s a lot less than I would expect, here’s my math, incase anyone cares.
150 square ft (hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it’s about 12×12)
4 ft deep
3in balls
64% packing efficiency
10 cents a ball (toys r us has them for $10 per hundred)
A total of 5867 balls for $586.70
March 4th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Update: I mixed up diameter with radius, so if I keep the other numbers the same, then that pit would require 46,936 balls for a cost of about $4,700. Damn it, the dream is dead . . . for now.
March 4th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Have you seen the one at EA Tiburon? It’s gotten deeper since the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m43GW9alZKs
March 4th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Alex:
Using TinkerTots as a guide (since that’s what xkcd used as mentioned above):
http://www.tinkertots.com/500cobapitba.html
These are the more expensive “crush-proof” type, of course.
500 balls for $110, claimed to fill about 8 cubic feet. For budget purposes, estimate $14 per cubic foot. 48″ is also kinda deep - almost up to the chest on most people. I think 36″ is more appropriate, being about hip height and makign it possible for most people to climb over the barrier to get in/out. Assuming 3 foot depth, budget $42 per square foot. (Douglas Adams would be proud.)
So 150 sq.ft. * $42/sq.ft. = $6300. Ouch.
Going with the Toys-R-Us version ($10 for 100) and the same fill ratio for the same size, $6.25 per cubic foot ($18.75 per sq.ft. @ 36″ deep). The new price for the cheaper balls is now… $2812.50!

Who said ball-pits discriminate against adults? There’s a play area for kids near me - huge thing spread across three floors, with slides, ladders, foam rollers, tunnels, falling-down-hole-rubber-strappy-things and, yes, ballpits. And one evening a month they open it to adults instead of kids. And allow alcohol.
A friend from work held her birthday party there last year. It was fucking awesome.

Hey Randall,
First, the ball pit is ace. When I finally get around to buying my own flat that will be one of the things I will be looking into.
Second, 2000 AD (a British sci fi comic) is owned by Rebellion, a company which recently purchased Clickwheel, a company that you can by pdf copies of comics from. To help promote the site, they did a feature on the internet as a medium for distributing comics and did a sidebar recommending some webcomics. xkcd was one of them.
Thought that was some very cool exposure.

There’s a youtube video about a cat in a ballpit. I’ve been thinking about building my own ball-pit for 10 years now and I have it all planned out. When I finally move out of my parents house I’m going to dedicate an entire room in my house to ball-pitness. Any time someone comes over they have to bring a bag of 500 crush-proof balls to add to the fun otherwise they will not be admitted into the house. (This includes parentals.)
After doing some calculations I figured out it would cost about 2650$ to fill a room 3m x 2m and 1m deep which is 6m³ so thats 13250 balls.. Better start saving now.

April 7th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I built my ball-pit back in ‘99 using balls I purchased from Ball-Pit Balls of America. Not sure if they’re around anymore (ordered them online), but they were cheaper to buy in cases of 500 rather than buying through places like Toys R Us at 100 a box.
Here’s some images of my pit when it was on display for my senior art show in college…

Eventually, I set it up in my apartment. It was fairly sturdy and had mattresses underneath for cushioning, so you could jump around a little and stay somewhat safe. I’m no carpenter, so it’s not perfect by any means, but I enjoyed building it and it’s fun to party in!

Don’t be absurd. Velociraptors are allergic to ballpits.
Also, Randall, you should know this post caused two seventeen-year-old girls to get into a catfight over who gets to stalk you and live in your house. There was jello involved.
Though to be honest, the fight was brewing for a while even before this particular post set it off.

May 28th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Using basic structures and properties of materials, I have simple formula for calculating how many balls you would need for a perfectly packed ball pit.
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/darkmagussa/Picture-1.jpg
Thats the lattice concept used for this.
Basically, with each ball being 3 inches in diameter, and the diagonal of one unit in the lattice being equal to 2 balls wide, the cube has a diagonal surface bisecting length of 6 inches. Its a simple 45/45/90 triangle, so that length is equal to one side multiplied by root 2. That means each edge of the unit cube is 4.2426 inches long. s^3 = volume obviously, so a unit volume for the lattice is approximately 76.367 in cubed.
Now each unit houses a half ball on each of the 6 surfaces, and 1/8th ball on each of the eight corners. this is the equivalent of 4 balls. divide 76.367 by 4 and that gives you a unit volume per ball of 19.092 inches cubed. Now all you have to do is find the volume you are trying to fill. Lets say its a 4 foot deep, by 10 foot by 10 foot pen. thats 48*120*120 = 691200 inches cubed. divide that by unit volume and to absolutely pack the pen you would need 36,203 balls.
Of course along each surface you would have to cut the balls in half because of the analyzed model of the lattice unit, and you’d have to account for imperfections in your lattice, and room for displacement when you and hordes of friends get drunk and play guitar hero- which is why this number is outrageously large and way more than would be useable, and was truly just a bored mathematics exercise. my guess is you could get away with about 1/4th of whatever number is calculated, making it about 9k balls for a 4×10x10 ft pen before people get in, and to make room for displacement cut a foot off of that, and only fill a 3×10x10, meaning maybe 7000ish balls. I’m awake too early.

what about all the hairs and skin particles and grease that will slowly build up in there?

@seedjar, @Kroz
You probably already know this: “small stuff sinks” is known as the “Brazil nut effect”.
Is that why Kroz suggested putting in the largest stuff first?
