Indoor Testing Recap and Extreme Drop Test Plan

In a previous test, we’ve done drop testing for the BOLT in an indoor environment at one foot, two foot, and three feet. Today, we’re gonna take that to an extreme level. We’re gonna drop the BOLT in the PMI test field at higher distances. We’re gonna start with a man lift and go to 25 feet and 50 feet. So let’s see how the BOLT does.

25-Foot and 50-Foot Man Lift Drops

The BOLT has survived the 25-foot drop. Now, let’s take it a little bit higher to 50 feet.

The BOLT has survived the 50-foot drop.

200-Foot and 400-Foot Drone Drops

So we’ve tested the BOLT with the man lift at 25 feet and 50 feet. We’re gonna go a little bit higher with the PMI drone system where we’re gonna drop it 200 feet and 400 feet.

Now, to do this, we have one drone configured with a release mechanism that we devised using a transmitter and a receiver on the drone to drop the BOLT from the drone, and a second drone to film the process. So let’s see how the BOLT does.

And the BOLT has survived the 200-foot drop. LEDs are still blinking. BOLT is in good shape. And now, let’s try 400 feet.

And we can see the BOLT still running. The LEDs are still on. And the BOLT has survived the 400-foot drone drop.

Extreme Drop Test Results

So we’ve tested it 25 feet, 50 feet, 200 feet, and 400 feet. The BOLT is passing the extreme drop test.
