The specific energy transfer function of a ball material is crucial in how the non-compliant coupling action of the ball interacts with:

1. The bottom of a component it supports. A rigid enclosure panel/platform is vital in this regard.

2. The compliant decoupling of the Iso-Cup and shelf/platform. Again, a rigid platform surface is vital in this regard.

The ball and cup function as a coupling/decoupling "team". The nature of the design approach seems to be that of a compliant/non-compliant hybrid methodology. It's a layered approach rather than the brute force of one type of design or the other.

Lots of DIY experimentation possibilities...
