Re: Homemade resitor

Al, we never reversed the voltage to the motors. We simply added additional resistance in the circuit to reduce power. The reduced power wasn't enough for the minibot to maintain position on the pole and it would decend. Yes, shorting the motor leads (what we are now doing) is working well also.
