When laid on a flat surface, can a six sided wheel be made? How about a five sided wheel? I plan to teach some math w/ these

These are pretty powerful magnets.. The magnets are at my grandson's house and I could go over tomorrow and check it out for you...

Yes. You can make a triangle w/3 sides, a square w/4 sides, or a circle w/5 sides or many more sides depending on how many pieces you have. I should warn you though that the pieces are small, and my grandkids (age 6 and 5) got bored after playing with them for a day or two.

Highly inadvisable...without the wheels, the entire weight would be resting on the five outer (curved) edges of the five-pronged frame. Maybe you could tape the wheels so they won't roll?

The wheel is delivered with the center piece unattached. If you just saw off an inch or so prior to inserting it, then the wheel will hang flat.

Yeah! The previous answer was right, I only needed two because of the wheels, but if all of them are basic feet, I would probably get four if you needed them. If you don't, you can always keep two as a spare. :)

The front wheel had some flat spots after folding it down one time, I must not have had the wheel in the right spot, but in a few days my flat spots went away. I'm sure you can buy a replacement wheel if you notify the company.

I'm sure you could on a nice flat surface but I returned my set since the pins were uneven and the ball didn't roll straight. What's the point?

There are wheels that work with wood. I'd use one f them. A diamond wheel is intended for hard surfaces like tile or metal. Mine worked great on tile.

You can use the 6" wire wheel. Also, here is a link to 7" wheels:https://www.google.com/search?q=7%22+wire+wheel&ie;=utf-8&oe;=utf-8&aq;=t&rls;=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client;=firefox-a#bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&ei;=sjsSUtXYO-TW2QW31YGABg&f;p=c2ecfddfdb752369&q;=7%22+wire+wheel&rls;=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa;=X&tbm;=shop&ved=0CD4Qsxg

A flat surface would be preferable. You need to fill the base with sand or water for stability.A SLIGHT hill shouldn't make it impossible to play just maybe a little more challenging! It's a fun game. This particular model is shorter than I expected, more suitable to kids height but adults can play too. Enjoy!

Yes, only caveat would be the wheel assembly is tough to get lined up and the treads on correctly. My son tried but did ask for my help after popping the wheels off a couple of times. Loads of fun and moves around pretty good.

It would be ok, but better on flat! Just makes it harder to spin on the upwards turn. It is fun though my kids love it! I would say slight slope ok, but anymore would be tricky. Hope this helps.

You will be happy with this purchase, the wheels on here are like on a rolling chair, it should roll very nice.I hope this helps, oh and use glue when putting this together sometimes the top gets loose and you have to reinstall.

I think you could do semi wheels with this buffer, but it won't get into right corners. For tight corners I use a 3" mini air buffer, but doing an entire wheel with a mini buffer would take some time.

Not as assembled per instructions. You can flip it, but it would not be flat. However, you could mount the two halves of the rack to the center section upside down which would then provide a flat surface. Hope that helps.

It fits on a wheel spoke not the rim. The flat side rests on the rim and the angle side on the spoke, this gives stability in all directions.The shape compensates for the angle of the spoke.

More of a display item in my opinion, but it can be if you put it on a revolving base but I'm not sure how steady that would be? It is predatory easy to spin on a flat surface, just make sure the screw at the base is really tight as it is 3 pieces that screw together!! Hope that helps.

You probably could do that. They are made from some material that is somewhere between particle board and paper, but very thick layered paper. They are actually extremely strong, but I'm pretty sure you could nail into them to attach wheels.
