There's a jumper on each Victor that allows you to decide if you want to set it to brake or coast. Brake is as described, while coast is what most folks use.

Teams have, in the past, created a servo-driven mechanism that allows them to switch between the coast and brake modes in the middle of a match.

Edit: Also, apparently you can program it to switch back and forth. You learn something new every day
