They eventually end up moving together because they are not a perfect system. The balls, while they might look the same, are probably not exactly the same size and weight, or they may not be exactly aligned. Also energy will be lost along the wires holding the balls, or lost as heat due to the small amount of friction. It all adds up to make the transfer of energy less than perfect, so eventually, the balls don't act as they should.

Their made to be an unbalanced force. The only way would be to add another ball, making 6 balls or it would be balanced. This wouldn't stop it from rocking either because of force input and output.

They are supposed to do that they are made to move.
