LEGO Mindstorms NXT: Gymnastic Robot

We used LEGO Mindstroms NXT to build a two-link gymnastic robot which can perform giant loops on a horizontal bar. The hand-and-bar link is a free running passive joint. Two NXT motors are used to drive the robot-shoulder link. We are still seeking the factors to make repeatable and predictable loops. Comments and ideas are welcomed!

Probably not. The motors aren't strong enough.
