Haha, I think remember seeing yours at Buckeye last year. Pretty sweet.
Anyway, because our budget was pretty low, I couldn't do too much on our cart as far as functionality went. So instead, I went with the pretty route.

It was motorized using the base of 2007's bot, had about 8-10 of those cathodes (all from previous years), and topped off with a nice yellow-and-black striped paint job. I wanted a few more things on there that actually mattered, like a lift, built-in toolboxes, etc. But, again, finances prohibited that.
I'm sad now, because I don't even live in that area anymore, so I'll never see my creation again.
Anyway, go for functionality. It's much more important than the extra bling, although that's usually nice to throw in if you plan on using it at demos, off-season, and the likes.
