Here is a paragraph from the Robotmarket place website about the Sabertooth:
"Sabertooth is the first synchronous regenerative motor driver in its class. The regenerative topology means that your batteries get recharged whenever you command your robot to slow down or reverse. Sabertooth also allows you to make very fast stops and reverses - giving your vehicle a quick and nimble edge."
I can't imagine it will make that much of a re-charge for your excavator. Especially that we don't really crawl with them much.... But a cool feature..
