A system may include an object having a rotational axis. The system may also include a first mass movably mounted to the object and configured to adjust a moment of inertia of the object by translating relative to the object along an inertial path having a first component that is perpendicular to the rotational axis. The system may additionally include a second mass movably mounted to the object and configured to: apply to the object a first torque in a first direction along the rotational axis while the moment of inertia is adjusted above a threshold value and apply to the object a second torque in a second direction along the rotational axis while the moment of inertia is adjusted below the threshold value, by translating relative to the object along a torque path having a second component that is perpendicular to the rotational axis and the first component.
