Re: Disk brakes

I really like the way 25's brakes worked.

They drilled a bunch of concentric holes in their gears, then used a servo to shove a dowel pin in. With their big knobby tires, they were almost impossible to push.

If you watch Newton Finals, you'll see 25 push Wildstang across the field, then hit the brakes. 111 tries to push them for about 15 seconds getting nothing done. 111 backs off to get some momentum and 25 breaks for the goal. Perfect driving.
