But remember what Gordon said:

> Definitely use the "Coast" mode for the flywheels. "Brake" doesn't use additional battery, but revving the motors flywheel does. Any speed the flywheel is coasting at is less energy you need expend to get them back up to speed.

I don't know how quickly the flywheel loses energy due to friction, but if we let it coast it might not come to a complete stop by the time we want to run it again, and in that case there'd be less work to do to bring it back up to speed.
