Cool robot (drone)! A little tweaking (or maybe encoders) and you should be able to get your forward motion straightened out.

Interesting how the battery sizes differ. Funny, but with all the Li-Ion batteries that I have worked with, I have not yet experienced any of the protected cells. My initial work with Li-Ion batteries (unprotected) were in very high current draws (>100A pulses), where protection would not have worked. As I continued to use them, I stuck with what I knew and continued to use unprotected cells, and provided protection within my charge and discharge circuits.

Good luck as you move forward with your project.
