  • Checking for motor desyncs

  • Checking for power monitoring brownouts

  • knockoff criteria:-

    • Current draw exceeding 100A

    • Motor on-time exceeding 10 seconds

    • Props loose

    • issues / alarming observations. Re-asses and continue if safe

0-100-hold 5 seconds-0

  • Ensures that our system can sustain 100% throttle for 5 seconds.

  • Knockoff Criteria:

    • Current draw > 100A

    • Motor on-time ecxeeding 10 seconds
