The way I'm interpreting this is that, after the main breaker is switched off, dynamic braking still occurs (i.e. the output is still shorted). This is very different from saying that the behavior at a neutral command is to dynamically brake the motor.

Could you confirm that brake mode persists after the main breaker is switched off? This could become a serious issue when teams need to push the robot around by hand.

Also, if this really is the case (I'm skeptical), could someone answer how this (feature apparently?) was implemented.
