The case seems like it'd serve its purpose, to protect the roboRIO, I was just wondering how good of a job it really does. The worst case scenario the past few years would be either the 2014 game ball landing directly on it, or a Frisbee deflected into it. The latter has the potential to have a lot of force. FRC games are tough. You have to design durable parts.

If something were to magically impact this in the middle of your robot, or you were to place this on some mechanism that extends outside your frame for some strange reason, the last thing I would be worried about breaking would be the polycarbonate. The 3d printed legs would go way, way before that.

Andrew, this could actually be really neat and useful if cable management is included. If you decide to do it please update us!
