I know it made our autonomous program work better. Without it, we rolled about 4 or 5 feet extra, but with brakes, we stopped in less than a foot. There are a few problems, though. We've experienced some backflow of current when the motors stop, and it throws our program off a bit. We've since solved that problem, but it was very annoying during testing.
