It also depends on the thickness of the wood. 6" thick oak? Even the
latest Toys R Us shipment of Lego won't bend it... :)
That sounds like a fun rtlToronto contest: rtlToronto15: Woodbending.
We take sheets of 1/8" ply (dunno where we'd get 1/8" ply but...) and run
all the contestants who build a robot to exert force against the ply. Then
we add another sheet. And run them again. Eventually we find the winner
who can break the most sheets of ply.
