Tearing Down a Quadcopter: Part 4 - Reading Upside Down Breaking

I decided to go for the full-break method of investigating the electronics, and while it worked out well to start, it's looking iffy going forward.
My background in electrical engineering involves the first 4 chapters of an electronics textbook I read on my phone when I had internet connection and power in town while hiking the Appalachian Trail. What can I figure out about how the circuit board works for the quadcopter?
Mechanically, it's in shambles. What's left in the rubble? I dive into the electronics to figure it out.
