Hydraulics are one hell of a mess, if something goes wrong. Ever had a pneumatic leak on the robot? Now imagine that the fluid in question was oil. (And high-pressure hydraulics raise some interesting safety concerns.)

Granted, they are useful and interesting, just probably impractical for FIRST's purposes.
