I don't think the flywheel taking too long to slow down would be an issue, as long as you're removing all power to the disc motor when the robot failsafes or turns off it doesn't matter if it takes a while for the weapon to stop, usually the lid will be held down during that time (as with Peter's s...

I will probably have to build a new regulator as a month ago I was playing around with the circuits and accidentally ran the 8.4V from the fully charged 2 cell through a HPX blowing something. Thankyou for the advice, I hope to have this antweight up and running for an event soon. Also in the works ...
