So far, we are.

The best evidence we have that it will survive is our Aerial Assist (Assault?) robot. Many photos taken of it while shooting show it a couple inches off the floor. When it landed it did so on Colson wheels a lot harder than what we're using this year. The drive train held up fine for 3 districts, the district championship, world champs, and 3 off-season events.

The front frame rail, on the other hand ... thanks 558
