Re: How to get the mini bot down

Even without a resistor, you can just shunt the + and - leads of the motors together to use the internal resistance of the motor itself as your brake.

Try spinning the shaft of a CIM with the leads disconnected from everything. Then connect the two leads together, and try again.
