yes, if your bot it fastened to the floor of the crate then any shock or impact to the crate is transferred directly into the frame of your robot.

The best solution is padding UNDER your robot, all four sides and the top.

Imagine your crate going over Niagara Falls => pack it accordingly (esp if you are attending the Toronto Regional :^)
