Trying to enter my first ant competition this Saturday, have a few questions.

I have one ant that uses the vex 29 esc's, they unfortunately dont have braking, ive heard that with dasmikros, you can use 50ohm resistors across the terminals of the motors, is this something that would work with the vex 29's?

With the dasmikro, im just super confused about how it all comes together, theres six terminals but eight wires going into it?? Ive seen on a circuit diagram that you only take the orange wire(??) from one group, if this is true what happens to the rest.
