Re: Safe Method for Purposeful Brown-out
Variable-voltage, high-current power supply? If you happen to have one handy. 
A little more seriously ... I never yet needed to learn about the cleanliness or other characteristics of arc welding power supplies, but one of those, plus or minus some high wattage voltage-dividing components might do the trick.
Does the robot need to be driving around on the ground? Or can it be up on blocks or on a homebrew dynamometer?
