They are much lighter, smaller, and have a more favorable voltage curve compared to lead-acid.

I use liPo and LiFe batteries all the time in my personal projects and toys and love them.
I hope FRC doesn't switch anytime soon; they simple aren't safe and robost enough for the average FRC team.
The "average" "big" battery is a 2s 5 AH and that's enough energy to cause serious fire and injury, a 3s 18 AH would be a bomb.
