Re: Coasting

Our robot last year had a nifty little feature that the programers rigged up where the driver could switch between coasting and breaking just by fliping a switch on a joystick. The idea was that we could buy a little more time by coasting over the back line after the power went out and score a few more points. We ended up not really useing it a lot though, and kept it mainly on the brake setting.

But it was a nifty little feature nonetheless,
