Brake
just a suggestion but I would use a brake other then electronic to hold the bot down so that you don't stall motors and start tripping brakes. I designed a brake for our bot using other forces motors( not electronic motors) it works VERY well and I challenge anyone to move our robot when I stop it. Just a suggestion but a hint is you have the cyliners and air compressor that draws minimal amps and dosen't stall!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The brake took the last 7 hours of Monday night to design and build into the bot but if you plan ahead you should be able to add one at regionals before you compete with little trouble.
