Rafael Millan came up with this way of reinforcing dedecahedron to make it more suitable for large structures. reinforced dodecahedron
Karl Horton came up with this way of balancing the balls for a panelled dodecahedron.
[edit] Destructive Testing
The full sequence of tests is available on youtube
Phase 1
Tougher than expected
| Finally RAM's gives way at 6.8kg | A plain paneled dodecahedron proves tougher than expected |
