1. Why does Roz's crate arrive unharmed upon the island when the other four floating crates do not?
Since Roz's crate is the last to hit the shore, the broken contents of the crates and the robots cushion the impact of her crate against the rocks. Without their knowledge or intent, the other four robots have saved her 'life' by softening her collision with the rocks.
