Re: Disk brakes

Disk brakes sound really inefficient for a FIRST robot. Why not just take the (+) and (-) wires and have them touch (I am not giving away any concept designs, just an ideal concept). Take a motor and spin the shaft. Now connect the two wires together and try it again. It would be a lot harder, and even harder when you have that going through a gearbox.
