You are correct, steel shot is also an option.
397 does use lead to weight our robot for testing. We have several large blocks of it (let me tell you, DONT pick up two brick sized chunks of lead) We just make sure we wash our hands after it. One option is to open up one of the Bimba tanks and fill it with the lead shot then mount that. Frankly, if you break one of those you have bigger problems to worry about.
Whatever you do, keep your weight low and centered over your driven wheels.
