Also - FIRST is all about parity these days. 70% of the teams use either the kit, AndyMark, or Dewalt transmissions with about the same gear ratios, IFI or AndyMark or similar style traction wheels, use the same motors, and weigh the same. Having some extra weight can't hurt in a pushing match.

They also look pretty swell in my opinion!
Well I'm sorry I just sort of assumed they wouldn't look good, but i think pool noodles and fabric just wouldn't fit well with our theme of shiny objects (the T3 mantra: "If it's not shiny, what's the point?")
