Re: Off season FRC quadrocopter build

It's not possible sadly. The CIM motors are not efficient enough and weigh too much. The lead acid battery will not supply enough voltage and current under load to make it work and weighs too much. The interface is unreliable and too slow for safe flying. The props would put it out of first legal sizing anyway.

In comparison the small brushless outrunners you see on a quad like a DJI F560 have the same amount of power as a cim at 1/10 of the weight.

Source: I have built 6 quads, one hexacopter and I am working on a y6

Re: Off season FRC quadrocopter build

Did someone say Quadcopter :3

And I agree with Marcus I would NEVER build one with FRC parts it would be way to impractical. You can get cheap brushless motors/ESCs and LiPo Batteries that would do a MUCH better job.
