2451 and 1625 put pool noodles on top of the bot so balls wouldn't get stuck on top of the robot and incur a penalty but getting some weight would probably be the best thing for them really.
I can actually help them there a lot more than anything. I have 1045 stainless steel solid cylinders that I am borrowing from work. Each 6in x 4in cylinder weighs 15 pounds. I have several of them.

Yes, they are expensive, but pretty much impervious to any kind of damage a frc robot would be able to inflict.
