Jaguar brake while disabled
We have found that we need our robot to slow down much faster when disabled than it currently does.

Therefore, I hope the Jaguar's (we are currently using Victors) brake feature will help us. However, I'm not sure if it has any effect when the robot is disabled; I suspect it doesn't.

Does it have an effect when the robot is disabled, or does the Jaguar shut down its output completely and do no electromagnetic braking?

Thank you for any help.
