We made wheels during the 2016 season for our shooter. We needed flywheels and we found some in our many years worth of old stuff and were going to use them but realized that a) the shaft hole and the outside of the wheel weren't concentric (Enough that you could clearly tell when they were spinning in a lathe) and b) that they were custom wheels from an old season (2007... I think...) and so were unusable because of the rule about non-COTS parts manufactured outside the season. So we designed our flywheels and machined them ourselves. That was a sight to see! These were 4" OD wheels with material cut out to the 3/4" (I think...) support for the shaft and into the wheel roughly 1" to the center. The best part... THEY WERE MADE OF STEEL! I need to find a picture of them because the are the greatest thing I have seen come out of our shop without the help of a CNC machine.
