I second that.

For methodology, a drop from a fixed height with increasing weight, or a drop from an increasing height with a fixed weight. In my mind (empirically) I think your heavy bot, lifted 24 inches at one end and then dropped onto nominal playing surface would be adequate. See if it survives X drop cycles. X could be around 50-100.

Second suggestion: roller wear on macadam or smooth concrete (I am thinking parade duty here - can it go a mile?)
