Re: FRC971 Spartan Robotics 2016 Release Video

It looks like you have a 775 pro on the "elbow" gearbox, and maybe the shoulder too? No spring to balance the load either. If so, how are you holding position without burning out the motor? Is there a brake I can't see?

(It's my understanding that the 775 pros will melt in just a few seconds when stalled at more than 6V)
