Re: Balls (square wheels)

Clarence, I think you need a more elegant approach.  Drill hole and insert
axle within the infinitesimal time increment dt that is used to resolve
practically every time-related problem in physics, and you will be
finished with assembly before any air can escape.  See how much easier
physics is when you use calculus?

Best wishes,

Larry
