I've heard different...
Sources I talked to said that FIRST already knew of a better, more indestructable bin, but chose not to use it because it was: heavier, and more expensive.

We saw the damage some of these bins can do to a light cover... imagine a pile of HEAVIER bins smashing down onto an unprotected robot...

OUCH!
