: Dynamic Braking has it limits.

Joe then proceeds to point out several excellent approaches to avoiding backdriving.

But there is one limitation on dynamic braking that wasn't mentioned - it only works when the control system is communicating with the robot. At the end of the match, when control is turned off, there goes your dynamic braking.

I didn't see this until this morning, so it's too late for shipping. But you could design a fix and make it in the pits at the regional.
