The best way, we found, for a controlled descent, is to make the motor act as a brake on the way down.
To do this you need to connect the positive pole of the battery to both electrical connections of the motor, during descent. Use a light switch that gets switched when the minibot hits the top to do this.
Basically, have the lightswitch change the connections on the motor from + and - to + and +.
