Instant regen braking and all that.

We are planning on using a switch to start the climb, and a switch to make the minibot stop at the top, and then move down slowly. I'm sorry "dropping like a stone" is somewhat an exaggeration, but it just doesn't slide down at a slow, safe pace.
What do you think now that memory foam is not allowed?
