Ease of fabrication. The prototype was made with an old lever-type pipe bender, and was something that Rob and I just sorta eyeballed to the right shape. The square tube, however could be rolled in a sheet metal roller, so that was easier and more precise with the equipment we have available to us.
It also has the added benefit of being easier to bolt the "tusks" to the pivot section of the arm.
