I'm a different Mr. V, but our minibot used only one switch total-- a simple household 3-way wall light switch. Battery leads were connected to the non-common terminals, motors connected to Common and to one of the other terminals.
Motor acts as brake when motor leads are shorted together -- no damage observed.
