Cuboctahedron
The cuboctahedron using red and yellow rods highlighting the 4 hexagons.
Type	Archimedian solid
Faces	8 {3}, 6 {4}
Edges	24
Vertices	12

Archimedian solid containing 2 triangles and 2 squares in alternating sequence around each vertex (3-4-3-4).

Keep the balls magnetically neutral by balancing the polarities around each vertex for maximum strength.
