My team may have picture some where of what unprotected carbon fiber looks like after a COUPLE MATCHES!. This was our first year using carbon fiber, even though it was just tubing. Luckily we brought plenty of spare rods with us to every competition. I'd say that we were breaking or shattering some rods after 2 or 3 matches.
While carbon fiber is light and can save a ton of weight, I wouldn't recommend using it for a chassis or some other component that is exposed to frequent impacts from other robots.
