[FTC]: Strengthening 3D printed parts

A local community college offered to 3D print the ring grabbers that we designed for this season. Although the grabbers are quite strong, we are concerned they may break upon an impact with another robot.

Is there a process that we can use to strengthen the grabbers? We wondered if there is a coating or dip that we can apply.
