Our team doesn't have the milling abilities to do these, so we had a sponsor mill them out. Then our students finished them up on the lathe.

They are by far the most complex/coolest looking parts we’ve ever made!

They are actually fly-wheels/roller-hubs. Hopefully they'll allow us to fire vast quantities of balls very quickly without losing speed and range.
