Safety Checks

[tdinesh]

Manager: The Motors can be turned off while in-flight. There has to be checks to make sure this is done only when landed. Other safety checks need to be considered

I viewed this as a desirable option. Perhaps estop should turn off the motors regardless but the motors method should not allow it in flight?

[justinthomas]

As far as safety checks, I'm currently planning on a bounding box. What others do you think would be useful?

[tdinesh]

Maybe there is should be an override flag, which can be disabled during flight. And user has to explicitly toggle to take direct control of motors. This way accidental motor off wont cause havoc.

Haven't thought of other checks. Just wanted to start a discussion.
