Can you "spin" the globe?

Why would you ????? It's supposed to contain bottles and even then if you want to, just the top half can be rotated.

I would like rewrite my statement on if the top spins.It does spin when the center part is not tighten to much.

I dont see why not. The planets attach to the sun with wire rods so i cant imagine they would fall off while rotating.

If you are using it for balance....yes. The rotation might be a bit of a problem, but you'd have to try it out.

Unfortunately not. The ping pong ball is projected out of the barrel with a spin and the only way to change to direction of the spin is by manually adjusting the angle of the barrel head.

No - the globe is not electronically linked to the base. There are other globes that have styluses that provide that functionality.

Yes, it is a 180 degree zone and you can spin it in a different direction, either right or left; not up and down. We have one aiming more to the side instead of straight out due to where people walk up our sidewalk to our door.

No. Spinning the top (or any section) unscrews the whole thing. And any slight turn of any part makes the whole thing unstable and flimsy.

Only sometimes. The rest of the time it's supposed to be stuck between some track or other and the inner surface of the globe (see some of the reviews for this). If you get it unstuck so that it's rolling around the bottom, you're making progress. But if the ball is stuck and refuses to move, you might try giving Perplexus Epic a good hard whack with a banana slicer.

It does take electricity to keep it suspended. You can rotate it gently when suspended, but be careful or it may become unstable, and if you are gentle about it it will still eventually slow to a stop. As for falling, whether due to becoming unstable from being hit, spinning to violently, or a power outage, the globe will fall onto the bottom part of the base, where it will stay via a permanent magnet until you suspend it again. No need to worry about it breaking or rolling away.

Yes, you can freely rotate them 360 degrees without any "forced stop" anywhere. Also to rotate them, it's a smooth motion, no dial "clicks" as let's say with a timer-wheel on an analogue timer. The rotation however asks for a good torque; it can't be rotated using one finger only, for example. Hope this answers your question.

Yes. You can tilt them so that they look like a "V" from above. I would not say they "spin," however. Minor adjustments are possible without much effort, but, if you want to move them around a lot...and in different configurations....that takes more work.

Not sure, but I guess you could, but the whole thing would have to be upside down. I have not encounter your issue. Try it out. Wish you luck.

Hello! There is a cord that is hardwired in the base with an inline switch. On many globes the cord exits out the south pole on the meridian, this is a nicer setup with it exiting out the back of the base.

Yes. All you have to do is to hit the cycle button and do the spin cycle :)

Top spins and side spins are determined by the position of the head of the robot. No. This robot's head has to be adjusted manually. You are talking about a robot that is at least 1.200 US$ and above. Butterfly Amicus and Smart Pong are examples of this, but they are way too expensive. However, RoboPong is such a good bargain for the money. I am happy I bought it. The drills are awesome. I can also create the kinds of drills I want. It is very good for fitness as well. Good luck.

Yes it can. It's not that comfortable to use in that orientation but it does rotate.
