Our breaker is mounted vertically on the piece of wood in the center of our robot where all our electronics are. We are an aggressive 2 goal grabbing robot and we've gotten into a lot of pushing matches and we've had some hard impacts (so hard that we bent our goal latch once) and our breaker has never tripped.

Maybe the wood dampens the shock, but who knows.

We haven't actually measured the amps we pull during pushing matches, but we use a dual-motor drive train, we transfer the weight of the goals, and our treads have a high coefficient of friction and we still haven't tripped it.
