The suggested way of measuring velocity (with the camcorder) would probably do just that.

It still can not excede 1.5 ft verticaly. Gravity is accerating all objects downward at a constant 9.8m/s^2. (mixed units work, right?) So anything only given the maximum velocity at the begining of the movement, like a ninja grapling hook, would only be able to travel 1.5 ft verticaly, no matter the angle.
Arms that swing up need to calculate the tip velocity and the end of the arm, and limit it to less the 10ft/s. Arms that move verticaly should take more then 1 second from the carpet to the bar, there abouts when moving from a starting height of 2-4 feet.

These equations are easy and you should learn them all in physics.
I've never taken physics.
Acutally, I'm going right now to see what physics classes are still open and maybe add it this semestor.
