Drone still won't even fly

We checked they are spinning properly.

Okay. I’m going to request that REC ship you a new ESC. We have seen this problem with improperly flashed ESCs. Stand by for an update.

Here is the video of the directions^^^^

Awesome! When can I expect a new one? Our competition is on Saturday the 12th.

@drake.knapp I spoke with someone at REC on Friday and you’ll need to go through the request for new part process. Please send an email to bellavr@roboticseducation.org and let them know your team number, address, and part to be replaced (4-in-1 ESC). The sooner the better as I know your competition is next week. Please keep us posted on your progress and let us know what we can do to assist.

I sent the email this morning,

Good. I’ll check in to confirm that it was received.

It is being sent. Hopefully, it will get to us in time to at least get it airbourne for the competition on Saturday. I guess we can go ahead and get everything else ready (sensors, lasers, etc.) hopefully we are fast learners.

It is supposed to arriving today.

The eagle has landed. We will try it tomorrow when my students get here.

So it seems to have been the 4-in-1 ESC that was the problem correct?

It would appear so! We are diligently trying to get it prepped for Saturday. BTW, what time does the event start?

Doors open at 8am on Sat. Look for an email from REC later today or tomorrow with more specifics.
