Fantastic video! Beautiful hats, snap starts, rolling regens, amazing skills -- doesn't get any better than that!

Tried this at home with less spectacular results...



These 0.9 g rice hat tops are only 24 mm in radius. They're good for 15-20 s spins but not amenable to rolling regeneration. Suspect that the latter has less to do with the tiny mass than with the very small scrape angle and tip/rotor radius ratio. These scale-independent parameters are much larger in the real rice hat in the video.
