Good day.
I'm building a new rover for a mission to Mars.
whe i'm on a modest slope the wheels move the rover down the slope, even if no power is applied to the motors. the i press B (brake) and the rover stops, but as soon as i release B, it starts going down again, slowly but with increasing velocity. Is there a way, a setting, a tweak, to let's say make the wheels apply brake when no input is given to the motors. It makes no sense that motors are floppy when not in use...

thanks

    @Matteovir yep, it is possible to automate the breaking of the wheels

    @fall but you have the hand brake that keeps the brake on. is there a way to have the same effect on those wheels? maybe also a vizzy line?

    uhm no thats how its irl, if you drive a car down a slope and release the accelerator, it will still drive on
