What media works well for scooping with front-end buckets and back-hoes,
e.g., the scoops in Service Pack 5284 "Loading Grabs" and set 8459
"Pneumatic Front-End Loader"?
We need a medium that scoops easily from a flat surface, a pile, or a bin.
It should not roll away when touched by the scoop. It should not make a
mess like sand or mud.
Rokenbok balls roll too much. The flat sides of 1x1 bricks do not afford
easy scooping. Short K'Nex pegs scoop well because they have rounded edges,
but they roll, too. Has anyone tried the guts of Beanie Babies, i.e., the
plastic beads?

If you're not concerned about odd shapes, actually, it occurs to me that castle feathers (the small ones particularly) (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)
