The other option here is to incorporate some kind of shock absorption system that absorbs impact. I recall doing something like that on our 2013 robot when we didn't want cylinder shafts to bend as we ran into the pyramid to start our climb.

What about gimballing the cylinders? is there any easy way to do so? Just a thought, it could be used as a form of shock absorption.
