I agree, but want to point out one observation. You see very few beautiful, well designed, anodized/powdercoated/painted robots that don't perform well on the field. This may seem obvious, but I thought it was worth pointing out.
The teams who are capable of finishing a robot and making it look beautiful, are the ones that are organized and have a solid plan going into the season. These are the teams that know where they need to get to and how to get there to get the finishing touches on the bot to make it look great.
