Re: Real-time balancing strategy

Great stuff on here. At our first regional, it seemed to us that many robots would experience unwanted rolling down the bridge while trying to balance with a partner. This seems to often result in some kind of toppling, either us or our partner. We've been working (with our practice 'bot) on a braking system to lock 2 wheels until the bridge has a chance to come to rest, and then make any final adjustments. Has anyone seen a braking system used, or have thoughts on it's usefulness?
