If you don't remove the pins, every time you stop applying power to the motors, your bot will come to a very abrupt stop (assuming the drills are on your drive train). Its a lot like heading down the road at 10 mph, and slamming the breaks on. If your not wearing your seat belt, you keep moving at 10 mph into the dash. Now imagine doing that every time you had to stop at a light. There wouldn't be enough asprin in the world to cope with that headache, and your car would probably suffer to.

Same thing happens on a bot. Things will want to keep moving, the battery for example. Its a strain on the drive train espically.

So unless you are using the drills in some application that really needs to avoid back driving (some insanley powerful arm for example) or not using the gear box, its best to take them out. You will kill your drive train with them still in, and even if you don't it'd be real obnoxious to drive.

So ya, get the pins out. They make nice tropheys...

Wouldnt that also cause a jump in the amperrage? i mean if you are going from a speed to an instant stop, you would have to experience that right?
