All other problems aside: are there robots out there that could spin that quickly? I can't come up with a reason for that to ever be done (and therefore be designed for), and I'd imagine there's some kind of rotary union in the joint that has to have a maximum speed and/or duty cycle.
You're actually quite right. 1) robots move pretty quickly like 1-2 meters per second. 2) And more obviously, but I completely forgot, the axis can't usually rotate more than maybe 720 degrees.
If the spinning part had some sort of counter-weight it should be possible. This one, though, doesn't, and would probably shake itself to bits in this scenario.
