Go to Post In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]

Victor brake feature

How well does the victor brake feature work?

I connected a motor which is raising a lift to a victor and set the brake jumper but I am not sure if it is doing much of anything as the lift still does slowly drift down due to the weight of the lift...

Is this brake feature limited in how much slippage it will allow when a 127 value is sent to the victor or am I doing something wrong?

Is there a way to incorporate a mechanical brake?

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks
