I think you missed his point. I can see what John is talking about.
If I'm about to select a third robot for my alliance, and I see two teams with similar scouting data, and I know nothing more about them, I too would be inclined to pick the robot that looks more professional. It hints at the possibility of a more professional team overall. This leads to the possibility of a better pit crew and overall competition team. More professional looking doesn't have to mean painted, just neater and more organized/polished team.
