The kits from a couple of Team 980 parents have been for sale for almost two weeks now. See: Lunacy Game Balls - The Complete Kit
The kit includes pre-cut lexan strips, pre-sewn fabric tubes, high-strength adhesive patches for bonding the strips together -enough for ten balls. Most of the tedious, time-consuming effort in making the balls is already done.
These balls are MUCH more durable than the kit balls. We have not broken one yet - even after kicking it around outside. They bounce almost identically to the Orbit ball, but are about 10-15% stiffer in compression.
