I'm not quite sure I agree with that. While it is good to involve the whole team with decisions about the robot's main strategy and basic build features, it may not be best to leave a technical decision up to a commitee of people who really have no business voting.
I'm not saying that to put your methods down. I'm saying that because I have too many times seen a poor design win one of these so called "elections" due to people on the design team talking up their particular idea to others, or one design simply looking better than another in the CAD models.
