Of course I hope on having a fast robot, so it might not be an issue since that will have a slower acceleration. I'm just gathering suggestions.

Now I am not saying you are wrong, but how did you arrive at that 9ft/s robot achieving a 1.7g?
This would theoretically mean that, if it could go that fast, it could reach a speed of 54ft/s from 0ft/s in just one second. I thought that such G's might only be "possible" during a full speed collision.
