It could, but you can do it without pulsing as well. ABS doesn't pulse for the salke of pulsing, it does so to avoid wheel lockup, since only a spinning wheel has directional control. A locked wheel cannot steer. While optimally braked ABS wheels may have a slightly shorter stopping distance on some surfaces, that's not the point of ABS. Instead, it allows you to maintain heavy braking while steering around the potential crash.
Also note that the braking feature of a Victor is not all that powerful, since it is proportional to the motor speed. So, it would not be a good brake.
