Exactly right. It's hard to arbitrarily pick the "gentle" braking point, and unexpected braking is not great.

Only if you choose an absolute value. Start gentle and then ramp up over the course of 10-15 seconds. It would be easy to add a slight high frequency oscillation to it as well, to make the board vibrate a little as a prompt to explain what it's doing.

It's kind of ridiculous to present that as an unsolvable problem dude.
