Re: Using encoder with talon SRX

For a benchtop system it does need a load or brake on the wheel to provide some inertia, otherwise the mechanical system will overshoot. It has no reason to slow down or stop and will continue to coast until your system drives it back the other way.
A normal FRC robot will have 150 lbs/# of wheels on top of carpet to resist movement.
