Yes, but I think the "power" portion of the cycle will draw more, because it's
always trying to go from stop to full speed.
Like driving a car with the brakes on. Start with the brake totally pressed, and
the more you push on the gas, the less you push on the brake, until finally, at full
speed, you're not pushing on the brake.
But, that will use more gas than the gas/float method we normally use.
Does that make sense?

Now, if the resolutiion of timing for the brake (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
