  - Orbit Molecular Model Kits with "Wobbly" Bonds: http://www.indigo.com/models/orbit-molecular-model-kits.html
  - "Wobbly" bonds are made from special plastic tubing and have the following advantages:
    - lattice structures such as diamond are stiff but layered compounds such as graphite are flexible ("wobbly")
    - are very durable and can be reused in lab/class settings
    - make virtually indestructible permanent models
    - clear bonds make the overall molecular geometry more visible
    - can accomodate non-VSEPR geometries
