... this is what I think, if your robot is really shiny and it isn't consistant, there is no point to it. I would much rather have an ugly robot that does what it suppose to do constantly.
Who says you have to choose?

No bumpers for our robot, how about 1/16" aluminum plate all around?
And what is this, anodized black??? Oh the horror.
Ah yes, armor plating. We bolted some 1/8" aluminum on the front of our bot last year after judges were ignoring a lot of ramming at the BoilerMaker regional. (Anodized black would look sweet. I don't know of anywhere around here that anodizes though, maybe I have to look harder)
