Team910 - The Foley Freeze tried our hand at making a ball today too. It came out pretty nice! We measured the strips in the KOP ball at 1 1/8 wide BTW, and created a duplicate by cutting strips and riviting them together (two at each overlapping joint). Here's a picture of the new ball (clear plastic) next to the KOP one, and then it wrapped in shiny duct tape - for fun!
