Can you reverse mini Cim while free spinning?

Thanks!

Depends on the motor controller. Any controller besides the CAN controlled Talon SRX is done in hardware. (not sure on the Victor SP)

If you look closely on the controller, there will be 3 pins with a tiny jumper across two of them. Next to them is the letters B and C. If the jumper is connecting the middle pin and the B pin, when no/zero PWM signal is given, the controller will default to braking the motor. This is highly recommended for All drivetrains. Setting the jumper to C is coast, meaning the motor will simply slow down via normal friction.

On the Talons, this can be done as a function across the CAN wire, which I personally have no idea how to do.

EDIT:

Just saw your post, see this document on how to do that
