What JB said. If I can put a lightweight system on there to reverse the motors, I don't have to put on a robust retrieval system. Nor do we have to cart a reachin' stick out on the field after every match to get our minibot down. Mind you, we don't have our kit yet. The motors might backdrive quick enough that opening the circuit is adequate. I'd just like to keep my options open.
