That was really my only fear for robots this year as far as damage; could they handle the torque of picking up a stack of n totes + the bin and not get deformed over the course of the season?

Side note: I think demos of robots this year will actually be pretty cool if they can either lift a lot of weight, or stack autonomously, or both.

There is also the concern of center of gravity, as eddie12390 has pointed out.
I haven't been around frc long enough to see robots fall over because of game piece weight, if it has even ever happened.
