Re: De-Accelerating

The joystick in neutral means no power to the motors unless you have your programming really weird. The friction in the system when moving will usually stop you when you release the joysticks within about 15 feet or so depending on your speed and drive setup. To brake faster, give the joystick a quick tap backwards.
