Upgrade YS3M to auto-homing ball core
Channel: Cliff Lawson
Date: 18/06/2023

The following is the set of magnets from Amazon used in this video: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BP7CJSML?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This video takes a YS3M Maglev and then performs several upgrades:

1) first the cores are switched from purple to blue. The blue are much looser and allow the cube to be set to move more freely

2) Then the edges have 5x2's added on top of the existing magnets

3) Then the corners have a second 3x1 added on top of existing magnets

4) Then the core has eight 5x2's glued into place

5) Then the corners have two 3x1 pushed into each stem

6) Then the edges have 4x2 repulsion magnets fitted to their base

7) Then the 5x2's in the core have a second 5x2 added to each site

8) Finally each 4x2 repulsion magnet has a 3x1 fitted on top

The result is an auto-homing cube but the final result is still not quite as good as the (1), (2), (3), (6) upgrades being applied to a YS3M Ball Core cube
