At least.. in theory, that works. I'm working with 6 unsharpened pencils, put together like a tetra with scotch tape .. and two other, separate pencils with a part of an unused row of small staples taped to them to test out my grabber ideas

If I learned anything from a late-night 1257 brainstorming session, it's that straws and tape work best.
