I'm thinking that if the motors just turned off, the minibot would just coast back down. This depends on the design of course. If the switch that turns if off, shorts the motor leads together this would provide braking.

Also the force required to activate the switch is 2-4 newtons. That converts to .44 to .88 pounds. Is that the right conversion? Thats quite a bit. If teams don't design the minibots to push that hard, the switch won't be activated.
