Re: breaking the minibot/ controled descent
Most methods involve increasing friction on the poles greatly. That can be done when the normal force on the pole by the wheels is greater. However, when doing that it usually makes it slower. Not saying the normal force and friction is completely bad, but theres a fine line.
In all honesty, your minibot should be fine if it falls back down.
If your're really concerned, put foam or some cushioning support on your deployer so that when it comes back down it softly lands into that.
Hope This Helps,
