The faster you go the more energy you need to dissipate to stop.
Why not have the container dissipate the energy? The sort of hook 3310 and 118 have might bounce out, but a latching hook wouldn't have this issue. Also, if you hit the handle hard enough, you'd move the container out of the way to prevent anybody from grabbing it without having to worry about timing to drive the robot back.

I just can't wait to watch some tug of war!
