User talk:Voidious/Optimal Velocity

I did a quick one-liner which gives almost exactly the same results as your getMaxVelocity(distance):

       private static final double maxVel(double distance){
         return Math.floor((Math.sqrt(1 + 4*2/Rules.DECELERATION*distance) - 1));
         
      }

The difference is that mine gives integer results, rather than all the 0.5s 0.33333s 0.25s and 0.666667s.
