Ask yourself "what are we trying to accomplish ?".

Looking good during the competition is a good reason.

Having a nice 'showbot' after the competition is a good reason.

This year we anodized, did graphics and all the rest. Since our regional we have showed it in front of a total of 30,000 across several events. It helps a lot with the roadshow.

Back to your basic question - what are you trying to accomplish ?
