So, been thinking, the P4 is awesome! What would I want in my next top of the line drone?
Easy/Obvious: more reliable control link signal, longer range (both radio and battery), higher speed.
Progressive: upgraded side and additional top obstacle avoidance that works all the time (likes forward/backward does)
But what would be awesome? Ok, what's my single biggest issue. No matter how carefully, at some point I have situations where I might hit something, and often it's not while running at speed it's while maneuvering at low speeds around obstacles. Or flying without OA on for whatever reason. Or flying indoor without prop guards.
What happens is that one prop hits something enough to slow it enough that ... blamo! everything crashes.
So, I'd love it if a new feature would be the ability to survive, at least some, prop impacts. Not asking for 40 mph into wall, but 1-5 mph into branch or brush with something solid - and it would just back off and hover.
Doable?
