I recall a previous thread where a team was looking to patent something related to their robot (some wheel, I think) and the general consensus was that it wasn't worth it.
I doubt it was for legal reasons to prevent someone else from using their design.

It was probably because it's very cool to be able to say you hold a patent and to show the students the process you'd go through, were you in industry.
