For the first three days AO-73 continued to take turns rotating about a different axis.
It then commenced rotating about the normal Z-Z axis, with Nutation.
Over VK it has been rotating with short term reversed spin from the flip cycle.
Due to the aliasing noted in previous analysis of the WOD’s and the gaps in the current WOD
uploads I have been unable to quantify how far into the pass the reverse spin continues.
