1. A wire coiling apparatus, comprising:
a rotatable wire laying head for forming a series of wire loops from a continuous length of wire; and
an X-Y table configured to move in linear X-Y directions beneath the rotatable wire laying head while the series of wire loops are being formed such that the series of wire loops are arrayed polygonally within a storage container supported by the X-Y table due to the linear X-Y movement of the X-Y table.
