Wish I could say it was an eventful experience, but it worked almost perfectly the moment I put power to it. I was pretty nervous powering it on because of the weight of the bot and power of the motors— it could do some serious damage.

Only thing I had to do extra was remap the forward/reverse channel to the elevator channel on my transmitter so that it controlled more like a joystick. I also had to set the failsafes in the receiver so it would default to stopping instead of going in reverse if/when the transmitter became disconnected.

Anyway, I kind of expected it to take a while to get the system debugged, but it works so well that I’ll probably be ordering my cameras and sensors and get to writing some software to make it autonomous.
