Re: using a current sensor to "brake" a motor

As others have said, once the robot is disabled, any current that you are applying will be shut off.

However, your idea is a good one. In 2000, we found that by applying the tiniest amount of current (just outside the deadband of the victors), we could stop our dual fisher price system from backdriving.
