We made our spiral our of aluminum, a bad choice in hindsight. To make it easier to bend, we notched it probably 60 times around the inner circles. We covered it all in aluminum tape to both cover sharp edges, and to smooth out the curve so that orbit balls never get caught on their way up. There is little to no difference in terms of looks, I dont think any judge at competition ever even noticed it even though our spiral was only surrounded by clear plexi.
