Even basic datalogging would be incredibly useful...max/min voltage and max motor RPM from a run (if there's not enough memory to store a a run's worth of data at 1hz, or whatever it may be). Current logging even if not very accurate, could still be useful for checking the ballpark figures. If it was only accurate to within 10A, even that would be helpful for checking out maximum rough current draw with a motor...but if the hardware isn't up to that, then it's no big deal.

Simpler things like hard RPM-limiting would be great, or even some kind of rudimentary traction control that goes beyond the current Punch Control; I don't know how or if it could work, but perhaps it'd be possible to be able to set a *minimum* voltage level (voltage drop) which the Mamba won't go below during the run, and limits acceleration so as to stay above that voltage. I'm not sure how you'd get the controller to distinguish between that and the LiPo cutoff voltage though, and it might not work well at all...but it wouldn't require current measurement. Just voltage measurement, which is a function of current draw.

Now that I think of it, it's a terrible idea lol...but there sure is a lot of stuff that could be done with the software.
