I am still looking around for bids, but I am realizing that these things are rather expensive. One of the quotes was like $1400. We are also thinking of getting a plain tent and getting banners to hang off of the sides. Or, we could just get some iron on letters and make one ourselves. Guy, with your daughter’s artistic abilities, she may be able to come up with something too. Just kind of testing the water on the design and prices.

That rocks! But the price is probably about right. My LBS got a basic custom one with no sides for about $600. I coach my little girls fastpitch softball team and we have looked into them and they are expensive. But if you guys find a better price somewhere let me know.

Thanks, we are still deciding if we want to spend the dough on this ($900 estimate for an 8×8). I will find out if there is a discount for multiple tents.

The flywheel (controlled by 2 derailleur cables) are responsible for adjusting the “orbit” of the spheres.

Did I mention that there is no metal-on-metal contact? It’s killer because apparently the system uses a Valvoline-produced liquid that under pressure acts more like a solid. The pits on the surface of each steel ball (kinda resembles golf balls) fill up with the liquid and that is where the friction necessary for motion comes from.

Neat! Why a flywheel?
