Re: Drivetrain Question

A couple of thoughts, If you are driving like typical robots, try using victor speed controls instead of Jags. Jags short the motor leads when off, so the motor is a brake. Victors do not do this, and you will not have this braking action when pushing.

Safety issue, put a electrical cut off switch by the controls.

Fix it electrically, of course, I'm electrical.
