I don't think I've ever seen a portcullis "slam" down, I personally slowed down to like 25 percent speed when going under the portcullis, so it never had that momentum. (I'm a brutal driver... thank god we had an unbreakable drive train

) when our bot hit that rock wall at full speed (never measured but estimated to be over 25 ft/sec) the front end would easily get 1.5 feet in the air, and the back (battery is on the back) would get 1 foot in the air
