We have two disc brakes on our 2016 robot, one to hold pivot location and one to hold elevator location. Both are critical for accurate shooting, as well as holding our hang position at the end of the match.

When you get the hang of it (no pun intended), they're pretty simple to integrate into a custom gearbox solution.

They work very well. We have incorporated bike brake cable into our designs before, but I believe this is the first time we have used a disc brake. Actuation is fairly easy, and they can support a large load.
