"475 lbs is basically nothing when you need an entire semi to haul all your stuff from event to event. That's a pretty poor reason."

The reason I am sure is to save money in general, not just the shipping cost. The blog states "to reduce this cost," meaning the cost of 20,000 lbs of trophies. That is a lot of material to pay for, and I would hope that smaller trophies cost much less than large trophies.

I have not tried to order 20,000 lbs of trophies, but I assume it is expensive, and I also assume FIRST employees have more than one reason for making decisions.
