Typical workflow for powering up a Power Sector that is currently off

  1. Turn on power to Flyways in the Sector

  2. Get Power Sector Status until it is in the "Inactive_Fenced" state (go to step 3), or "Active_Fenced" (go to step 5) state

  3. Activate Power Sector to activate XBots inside the Power Sector.

  4. Get Power Sector Status until it is in the "Active_Fenced" state

  5. Recover Power Sector to remove the fence around the Power Sector
