Strawbees

They say competition is good for business, so it's perhaps a good day for (actual, physical) Lego and such: The three guys shown above just introduced "Strawbees", "a new construction kit based on one simple unit that lets you connect straws to each other. You stick a Strawbee into the ends of a standard quarter inch (6mm) straw to make struts and then connect them with another Strawbee." You can add cardboard in the mix, possibilities are infinite, and the Kickstarter campaign already reached its goal... (rnk)
