Dynamic Brake/Coast Modes?

I have a potential mechanism application for which it would be desirable to dynamically switch between brake and coast modes on a speed controller via software rather than setting a mode prior to a match via a switch or calibration button.

Do any of the legal speed controllers currently support such an application? I have not used CAN control on the Talons before, so I wasn't sure if the Talons could be programmed with this functionality. I know the Jaguar is configured via jumpers -- is it legal to create a custom circuit that will allow electronic switching of the jumper position?
