I'm not saying she can't be revived without it being cheap. In my previous comments I do point this out as a very viable possibility. What I am saying is that I hope they do more with her death than cheapening it with "Penny wakes up with a new arm and torso and is A-OK because she's a robot! Ruby and Penny hug, roll credits over freeze frame of everyone laughing."

They could achieve this in any number of ways and still be self-consistent with the whole robot thing. Maybe Penny, being a sentient, feeling being, is traumatized by the experience of being literally torn apart. Maybe in the process of resurrecting her, they wipe her memories, or her memories are lost and she has to re-learn certain things / rebuild relationships. There are a ton of ways they could bring her back and not just let it be a case of "hit reboot on the robot to pick up exactly where you left off."
