# set Brake
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set the brake on the motor so it won't turn when it has no power.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sig
|
||
|
|
motors.largeA.setBrake(false)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a the motor is stopped, it can still rotate if an external force is applied to it. This can happen, for example, if your're tanking your brick on a inclined surface and stop the motors. Gravity will push down on the brick and might cause it to start rolling again. You can prevent this movement by setting the brake.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, you can use the brake to do simple skid steering for your brick.

## Paramters

## Example

|
|
motors.largeA.setSpeed(30)
