To be more specific, we're aiming at a helical magazine similar to the ones that teams 66 and 121 made in 2006. Our prototype was made out of 1/32" polycarbonate cut into a doughnut and wrapped around a cardboard tube. When we tried to wrap it around the tube, we were unable to get it to fit right and it buckled when forced into position. Our cuts weren't of the highest quality, but the problems we were experiancing went beyond what I would attribute to our circles not being perfectly round.
