Re: Brake / Coast: any difference this year?
The brake/coast only affects the Victor 884 when it is in neutral (127) so it shouldn't matter for your high speed turn (unless you want to put the left motors in neutral). We use digital outputs on the brake/coast header so we can select between the modes. The autonomous programmers like Brake mode (more precision) and the drivers like Coast mode (smoother). However, last year's driver liked Brake mode for maneuvering around The Rack. This year's driver will probably go back to Coast mode. Abrupt stops could be dangerous in this game.
