Traction Fail at 100 feet

Great stuff, Terry! The drone shots are a nice touch and the climb is no joke!

I like how the blower motor steps up a notch, seemingly at the same time the slope gets steeper. :slight_smile:

Haha, i hadn’t even noticed that!

The X1 is a lot of fun, but I just worry it won’t have a long life. I fear something is going to happen to it. Mine was stopped twice when it ran into plant life while on a bike path in Monterey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-7p6R9qo4I
During follow me mode, it clipped a tree, continued on, then clipped another tree and softly landed on the path (not shown in the video). In side track mode, it ran into a bush and landed (grass is seen in front of the lens).
