We haven't really gone into "mass production" (that's Saturday's task), but we've got students weaving the balls using the 5-strip plus hoop method in less than five minutes/ball. The prep work (rounding the corners of lexan strips and sliding fabric onto the strips) goes pretty quickly as well (a couple of minutes per ball). Once you figure out the trick to gather both fabric ends away from the hoop joint (by sliding the hoops around within the ball), sewing is pretty straight forward. With a few whip stitches on each hoop, a ball can be completed in about 3 minutes as well.
I think a production line approach with 3 or 4 students will easily get all ten balls completed in less than 2 hours.
