Re: Minibot Falling Solutions

Double posting so I don't have to edit a post...

Are these minibots falling/dropping just from the weight of the minibot backdriving the motors? I'll admit I haven't looked to see how fast they backdrive, but falling like a stone doesn't seem likely... If this is the case, however, I vote rigging up a light switch to switch the positive lead on one or both motors from the positive battery lead to the motor's negative lead. Instant regen braking and all that.
