So far it sounds like ISRO will do a lander without a rover, and just have the helicopter as the mobile piece coptering around the landscape.
It should be noted that NASA's Ingenuity copter stopped functioning due to a landing where it toppled and shredded one of its rotor tips, thus grounding it forever.
How can we avoid suffering the same fate? What can we learn from Ingenuity's mishap to be able to avoid a similarly bad fate?
The only thing I can think of so far, is having a wider landing leg stance.

Or is it possible to do something like this to guard the rotor tips?
