Minibot switches and soft landings

[WarehouseCrew]

I have two questions that I would appreciate help with. What specific electrical switch is working to turn the minibot off after the top pole sensor is successfully tripped (but not turning off without triggering sensor)? We have one push button switch from Home Depot that takes about 7 pounds of pressure to turn it off. The fuse may trip before this works.

Secondly, how do you make the minibot come down the pole to a "soft landing"? I've read that some teams are using reduced power on the motors to provide a braking action after the top sensors is reached. How is that done (eg. my switches are only on and off, no 1/2 power option) and is there a risk of burning up the motors?

Thanks.
