4 newtons of force???

The rules say that the mini bot has to push the sensor with a force of 2-4 newtons. I think that it would be a good idea to try to go for a force of 4 newtons but I am curious as to how much force 4 newtons is.

What are some examples of how much force this is and what mass and velocity a bot would have to be moving to create such a force? Is this accomplishable by the "spring loaded" bots that people are talking about?
