You think something that did that to a robot would even blink at a bunch of packing peanuts?
Seriously, though. Packing peanuts are mostly intended to keep objects from violently shifting during transport. When you're trying to protect something from being crushed, you mostly put big "Do not crush" and "Fragile" stickers on it. And little pyramid things that get smashed and let you know that someone has put something on top of it. Or you build a box that can support 600 lbs on top of it and hope they don't try to put 800 lbs on top of it.
