Most teams short it via the (-) side of the circuit rather than the (+) side, though both ways will do the same thing.

My understanding (and I may be wrong, it's been a while since I'ce studies regenerative braking) was that connecting the (-) sides together dissipated the energy as heat in the motor while connecting the (+) to both sides would dissipate the energy by recharging the battery. Am I incorrect in this? and if I'm not wouldn't it be better not to heat an already heated motor?
