Re: Globe motor backdrive!!

While the relay thing might work for a hobbie robot their are a few issuses with using that system in FIRST.
The speed controllers can already be set to do this automatically see the section about the coast/brake jumper on IFI's site
Only speed controllers my be attached to the globe motor
and the relay wouldent stay latched after power was removed, all of our compeition legal relays arnt latching and cant legely be made so.
this isnt ment to down the idea, like I said its a good idea, and has uses however its illegeal for us.
