Thats two completely different forms of impact. First is vibration. That usually slowly tears something up. The second is turbulence and blunt force. Basically your comparison is as reasonable as stating, 'This doesn't break when I shake it so it shouldn't when I take a baseball bat to it.' Not really a valid statement at all.
A personal request: Once you build your robot so it can drive, purposefully run it into a couple of walls at full speed. See what happens. If it doesn't do any damage, you might be ok in competition, but you still might have trouble.
