The speed controller will go into dynamic breaking while it is sent either no signal, or a neutral signal. You know how the lights are all on and blinking while the robot is not being given a signal? That means the speed controllers are alive and saying 'must. keep. robot. in. position.'

Dynamic breaking is very useful. I myself preferred not worrying about that and using the window motors for my team's bar-lift system. However, this makes our arm considerably more volatile. It's a tradeoff either way.
