I don't see this being a major issue, though we are considering bringing a few parts with us should we pick a box bot and modify them into a Troll-Bot. Hehehe.
As XaulZan11 said, the strength of the frame is not the part to be worried about, it is the electronics board that is often mounted unprotected on top of the frame of a box-bot that one should be worried about.
