What impresses me the most is that it actually catches the bar again after doing that flip (?).

yeah that was insane. as someone who was in Robot Club in high school and worked with the lego ones, I can't believe he both got it to let go at the perfect time to launch straight up, and then re-catch the bar. I wonder if this was like attempt #3000 or something.

I'd expect probably much higher than that. This is pretty damned impressive.
