Problem Statement

 * Quadcopter, when connected to a bigger 2200 mAh battery, took off vertically ignoring height limitations. Was able to cut power using "emergency" button.


 * Additional issues : Motor broken off the mounting point. Missing motor gear.

Training and Operations
An old motor's gear was removed from the shaft using a hammer's nail remover and a vice grip wrench. The gear was used to replace the missing gear on the functioning motor. Steps in Poster section. The motor was mounted on the chip following the orientation of the other motors. Hot glue was applied along the edge without any solders.

Next Steps

 * Test operation of fixed motor.


 * Design and implement a harness reinforcement structure.


 * Re-test using 2200 mAh battery but with the quadcopter secured. An idea is to tether the quadcopter down.
