physics - Magnets

Anyone here good in physics? I have a question about magnets. Will a sample A: magnetic ring that is round, ride freely along another sample B: magnetic ring that is round? Sample A's inner diameter is slightly bigger to give the notion of riding freely "WITH OUT EVER" touching ever to outer diameter of example B's ring. "WITH OUT EVER" meaning say this setup is possible and it is subjected to be bouncing around, can it be possible to where they(examples A & B) "NEVER" touch. Also, to make it never touch, will the notion of either example A or B need to be more magnetized than the other so they DO NOT touch due to bouncing motions? The experiment I'm trying to do and think of is have a stationary box that is always upright. it is connected to Example A magnetic ring on both sides of box. Those two rings will "glide" along their own Example B magnetic ring. Try to visulaize rolling Example B's together that will be attached to keep them equally apart, and while it is rolling the stationary box is always upright gliding along in the middle of example B's rings. If there was a online whiteboard I can show someone what I'm trying to describe to help viualize if beed be. Any help though on this idea?

Thanks

I am having kind of a hard time visualizing what you are saying. You want a box with (we'll just say some kind of) magnets on it, and you want it be to able to glide while staying upright?

Not good at drawing with a mouse but here is the idea upon what im trying to explain.

Any ideas on the previous question.
Thank you for the whiteboard link MikuzA

Yes that The the theory im trying to think of. The box we'll say has the eletronic brains, gyroscope and other electronics. The two main wheels are the only thing to make the device move. The box has a rod on all for sides on the left side and the same on the right side for the other wheel. On the end of this rod is a circular ring the goeas around the wheel. It basically rides on a cusion of air which the magnets are doing because they are repelling each other.

Have you ever seen this?
