I don't know if you've already got something planned, but have you thought about protecting the intake roller?

On impacting the corner of another robot, the contact may not be bumper-to-bumper, but rather the edge of the other robot (usually reinforced or supported) to the centre of your roller. Perhaps the roller is designed to take this kind of hit, but it would be a shame to see a nice looking robot like that out of commission due to a weak point.

Assuming the roller IS designed for a full-on impact, if the relative velocity of the two robots is at an angle, can the roller mounts take a sideways impact force?
