FRC games are tough. You have to design durable parts.
I hope you don't mount your electronics where a big 2lbs ball or a supersonic (exaggerating here) frisbee could hit it!

I bet that it would protect it from most things, especially if you 3d print it properly. I don't think stress testing is necessary, and if this case goes through more than a little stress, shame on you
