Oh haha sorry, I didn't fully understand what you were saying before, my bad. They have some pretty grippy wheels and torquey motors, and it's only 6 pounds, so it shouldn't have too much inertia/momentum. I'm not exaclty sure though about the calculations how much of a distance it will take to stop from full speed, but it doesn't seem to be much from the vids.
