trackeranon here with a progress report:
Tracking the tip of sn8 and the middle of the bottom to get orientation data, some preliminary analysis suggests the rate of rotation maxes out at around 40-60 deg/sec. By no means perfect as there could be some perspective not taken into account, and still have to try to smooth out the data, but should be good enough for some rough g-force estimates. Don't worry about the tape measure on sn8 only showing 43m. I originally wanted to use it as a known length but apparently you can't tell the calibration stick to keep a fixed length when while its endpoints are changing.
