Do you have any thoughts on what a more realistic test would be?

FWIW: the pellet gun uses around 5% of the kinetic energy (0.002lb@1000ft/s) of a 140lb robot @ 16ft/s, so there is plenty more energy available from robot-robot interaction than what we used to initiate failure.
I don't think so. I can check when I get home tonight.

I was thinking a more realistic test might involve blunt force. Maybe fail it with a spring loaded (or pneumatic actuated) hammer to simulate an intake slamming into it.
