(Video) Students Build Amazing LEGO Mindstorms Gymnastics Robot

A group of students built this amazing gymnastics robot using LEGO Mindstorms NXT parts and several custom-built joints. Video after the jump.
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

Can anyone put us in touch with the creator of this robot? We'd like to feature it on our NXT blog.
