I Agree. That's a good strategy.

For what it's worth, at the Annapolis MD Qualifier, the SW Inspection team was specifically checking for correct motor stops at the end of Auto and Teleop. I did see some teams fail this, and they had to go back to their code and correct it. So, ensuring is real stop is something that everyone should check before they leave for competition.

edit: In Fact, doing a complete run through the inspection check-list before you leave for competition can be a life-saver HW and SW
