Re: Stalling the BaneBot 775 motors

The problem I see with that, is that the banebots motors require high speeds for their fans to be effective, so the lift would bounce up and down quite a bit.

Additionally, i'm speculating that a fast switch from "drive down" to "drive up" would probably load the motor heavily, maybe even more than just stalling it (since you are trying to turn it one way, but the inertia is pushing it another).
