I thought that all the balls would stick to each other to make it easier to create shapes. Some balls repel others away. Does anyone else have Bucky balls or the Neo cube?
Thanks

A: i dont actually have neocubes. but, since magnets have positive and negative poles, we can conclude that you might have been trying to stick like charges of the magnets (+to+, -to-).
opposite ends/poles attract, and like poles repel against each

Cool Tools: NeoCube

My latest toy is cool the NeoCube, a 6x6x6 cube of 216 small neodymium-iron-boron magnetic spheres can be arranged in an incredible assortment of geometric shapes and non-geometric. You can create different polyhedra, even buckyballs, and all sorts of familiar forms, too. It's basically a 3D tangram on steroids. As fascinating as it is addictive. It is fascinating to reorganize the spheres.I carry mine in my pocket and often spend about 45 minutes to an hour just to play with him - at home listening to NPR or in the car waiting for my wife. A supreme moment waster!

1. И одна из них – это neo cube. Его создателем является экономист Крис Ред из Питтсбургского университета. Именно он придумал соединить более 200 магнитных неодимовых магнитных шариков в одну игрушку-конструктор. И в 2008 году интернет-ролики по сборке
