Interesting post.

>But if you were to bump it hard enough it would make a very quick 45 degree turn and >snap together with finger breaking force.

This statement was referring to the model Gary produced that had magnets attracting as well as opposing.

Yes, he did make one that "free floated".

I also originally thought the linear bearing would be needed to reduce the friction, but I was surprised at how little friction there was with the clearanced hole through the Acrylic.

The torque motion of it trying to twist is almost non-exsistent (I could feel none). You actual have to let it move quite a bit off center for there to be any real force to the sides. The guide pins keep it centered enough to allow it to float without it forcing the top plate in one direction.

Thanks for adding the good information of your experience to the subject.
