Re: Is powder coating and annodizing worthwhile?
i think the main advantage to powder coating or painting is that it makes the robot more memorable, and more professional looking. however there are ways to achieve this without spending as much time. i thought that WildStang had one of, if not the most memorable robot this year, and it was not because of the powder coating. a team that has a robot with enough time to think about how the robot looks, and bumpers, typically has more time to practice, unless they have a poor build season and don't finish in time.
