Lightbulb Re: Victor Brakes

I don't know if this thought will help, but what about regenerative braking?

I figure(correct me if you see errors), put a single-pole, double throw contact switch between motor, victor and leads to diodes then to a battery. By switching to the leads with diodes the motors are turned into generators by the forward motion of the robot. The diodes are so the battery doesn't back into the motors causing them to run at full.
