What do you guys think??
I like the idea. But, won't that be the same as simply turning down the throttle EPA on the radio? And your FAQ page specifically says not to do that. I can't think of any other way to programmatically accomplish what you are talking about. Personally, it would be easier to simply use less battery voltage and dial in 100% punch control.

Now, when you release your ESCs with data logging, you could use the current measurements to automatically dial in punch control and maybe even some EPA to keep current within reasonable limits.
