Just curious, but what's your general design? We've gone all-electric this year for the first time (our fourth; we have ONE four year robotics senior). Actually, this is a bit annoying to our controls mentor; even though he has an IBEW tattoo, he really likes pneumatics better.
BTW, our all-electric design is
here, though I believe we were planning a pneumatic brake at the time of that post. We're going with a servo-actuated pawl in the form of a ratchet wrench acting on a hex shaft. It'll be a bit more work on the programmers (stop it first, back up before releasing), but I hope we're up to it.
