Re: Brakes

Team 293 is using brakes based off of 25's design:
A servo sticks a pin into a milled out gear in the gearbox.

For the ammount that they weigh, the benefit is huge. If the brakes are on, the wheels don't turn.

The only problem is that before we got the settings just right, we snapped several servo horns.
