Notice their breakers and battery are pretty close to the ground when standing up. They also have shock absorbers up top that take the blow when they fall.

Team 267 had a stand-up-n-drop bot back in '00 that used pneumatic cylinders for shock absorbing. But they did so without putting the compressor or air tank on board; they just charged the cylinders once for the fall.
