I agree with Jason here. I fully expect very high speed collisions this year. FIRST seems to be taking off the gloves this year and actually encouraging vigorous robot to robot interaction. Build it to withstand this contact or play at your own peril.

And, Jason, I expect impacts that will be far higher than both you and Dave have calculated
