Re: Impact and Capability of Motor Brakes?

One easy thing to make sure of as well is that your Jaguars are in brake mode rather than coast. This won't keep your robot from rolling down the bridge if it's tilted, but it may help your robot from rolling around so much when the bridge is coming up to level. Basically it will resist uncommanded motor movement somewhat (especially short-duration disturbances), but not prevent it.
