Would you pay 5 grand for a segway if it looked like this? http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pi...le&picid=11889
I think not.
However much some may want to deny it, I think a notable portion of engineering (and the FIRST competition) is being able to sell yourself.

If you read the book
Code Name Ginger, it was revealed that marketing, and Dean himself played a role in the look of the finished product, not the engineers. They were too busy actually making sure it worked.
Once that was done, it was redesigned many times by the engineers to specifications from higher up to make it marketable.
