Just currious.. Does the motors float or brake when you release the
buttons, and the program doesn't control the output?
I don't have a remote myself.

Great question. They "brake". As soon as you start a motor on the RCX, it
doesn't go into "floating" mode again until you turn off the RCX. I don't know
how the braking is accomplished but it's probably just a matter of the motor
trying to generate a voltage which is immediately soaked up by the driver
circuit (which is trying hard to keep the voltage at 0)
