Disc Machining and Mounting - Andrew Baden

Yesterday I finally got the plastic discs cut out on the CNC machine, with the help of Dr. B.  Each disc has a bolt pattern to mount a hub to, so we can mount the discs themselves to a shaft.

Our next step is to figure out a way to power these discs, and to put an abrasive or rubber like material on the discs to better pick up the balls from the ground.
