With this in mind, I think that if two robots had the same skills, and the same W-L record, an aluminum bot would be picked for an alliance over a wood bot.
Wood doesn't always look worse though. As Tom posted earlier, it can be painted quite easily.
Plus, some wood bots can look quite slick even without paint
