*****************************************************************************

I'm looking for a material that can easily be used for children to build 
towers that they can test on an earthquake table; LEGOS are too heavy, 
spaghetti doesn't break easily enough... Can anyone recommend anything? I 
was thinking k'nex may be a decent material but would like to know if you 
have used them or something else different / better. What have you had 
success with?

Thanks!


-          Robert
