This year we decided to actually make a control board that was nice and cool looking. I think we accomplished that. Also we're venturing into a different style of control than usual. In year past we've always had control over each moving part individually. I thought that this would be complicated so our controls work like this:

Colored Buttons Going from left to right:
1- Grab
2- Gather
3- Release
4- Store
5- Score
6- Offload

So when our operator presses the button the motors will move according to what he or she wants the robot to do.

I just flipped through your website and saw yours. I think I like the colored plastic on your better.

here is ours from last season, prior to the decorative stickers we made. Its actually spray painted polycarbonate from the bottom. From that view, it looks terrible. But on the other side up, comes out pro-looking.

We polished the aluminum spacers. One student found an easier way to do it, instead of hand wet sanding it, then using Mothers. They attach it to an impact driver, spinning the spacer while holding the sand paper instead. Even the screw heads get polished. Bling bling ;)

That's so awesome looking! We actually used the same process for painting some of the polycarb on our robot this year. You're right, the painted side looks horrible but the other side'll look great.
