To Brick or Not to Brick....that is the question!

They are not required, and teams are not using them because they add a lot of unnecessary weight to the minibot. This means a lot of time added to the climb due to the limited fixed source of power.
I don't have the link on hand right now, but this has been asked and answered on the Q&A. You should be able to find it there somewhere if you dig around the minibot section.
