How long does it last?  Of course towards the end of the battery, the performance would drop.  Now, if your variables are set for max speed at 100% battery, when the performance drops due to the batteries losing power then the waypoint times would be off resulting in the trajectory directions being wrong making it go off track or does it take into consideration these problems or do you have to program that to compensate for voltage sag?

Also, the weather has an effect on the power output of the batteries.  Do you have to recode the "tune" like fuel mapping in vehicles depending on the weather?

16 hours per charge I believe

no way, 16 hours?

Just a guess lol

at most probably 3 hours..

Not 3 hours, 15 minutes?

by the time it hits 3 hours, the performance dropped by at least 25%

Where have you got that info from?

With batteries, they give out less power when they are less charged or under too much heat or cold.  This regulation would definitely affect the route calculations if no adjustments are taken into consideration and made at the programming level.  Of course, if it's going far below maximum performance it would be ok because it has enough juice to do the rate but when the rate demanded is greater than the batteries can output.. the timing should be all off.  I don't want to get this and have this kind of headache.  It's either someone tells you or you experience it yourself the hard way.

This is if it's based upon say in 10 seconds at 15mph turn, in 20 seconds at 17mph turn, etc. but if it's based upon some sort of checkpoint command it won't matter.

Thanks for the info.

The FAQ says" The battery of the S1 can last for 35 minutes of continuous use. This was measured with the S1 moving at a constant speed of 2.0m/s on a flat surface. The battery life on standby is about 100 minutes.".

I expect these batteries will perform similar to batteries in other DJI products.

That's pretty bad..  Most likely it will have some big charging station and the batteries costing $100 each at least.  I doubt it would get slower towards the end of the usable battery life as 4.5mph is pretty garbage.  Maybe it would work if the robot could park itself in a bay and charge itself then continue the tasks on repeat after recharging like track loop toys.  Would be cool if it could build things for us like a lego kit by itself.  Construction robot module kits for it would be great.

Nor should you lol

Hello and good day AntDX316. Thank you for reaching out and for the inquiry. The intelligent battery of the RoboMaster S1 can last for 35 minutes of continuous use. This was measured with the RoboMaster S1 moving at a constant speed of 2.0m/s on a flat surface. The intelligent battery life on standby is about 100 minutes. Thank you.
