good

[@pasqualelicci1338]

Hi, fantastic project what performance has this platform in order of longitudinal and lateral acceleration?

[@flipcoin6301]

Cool looking build! Seems like there's quite a bit of latency. Could different motors or controller/software reduce the lag?

[@departedreality]

I think the biggest contributor to latency is the filtering/smoothing that's done in FlyPT that is customizable. The Thanos controller and AC servos are extremely fast and probably couldn't be made faster unless it was a FPGA. Traditionally in simulation, the recommendation is to keep under 100ms latency, which the system is capable of

how heavy can the rider be in this setup? Have you guys tested that out?

How much power does this pull??
