Broken Propeller (I.R.I.S. Project)

In the last post, you saw the motor start up. That was at approximately 20% speed. I cranked it up, but the duct tape was unable to hold the motor down, and this is what resulted when it broke free:
The out-of-control motor also chopped through some wires on one of our ESCs, which, luckily, turned it off. Fortunately, we were wearing safety goggles, and will definitely not be making this mistake again. Next time we're tying it down, and will take more safety precautions in our future projects.
