Hey, were gonna be 10 year veterans this year, and we dont produce anything that looks super cool, or is finished 2 weeks early. We still manage to have a lot of fun and make a good robot. FIRST is really only like 20% about the robot you build. Some teams have the time and manpower and money to powdercoat, anodize, etc, etc. Does that make them a better team than everyone else? No. On the otherside, it does make them more visible to other teams, and like you said, hardly anyone remembers a really plain robot. Doesnt everyone try to make their robot look good? If we could be done in 4 weeks, believe me, we would be done. 4 weeks is a little extreme though since it does take at least 2 weeks to fully plan out everything, and if you are going to, do everything in CAD. This still leaves you with 3 weeks to build the bot, and hopefully a week to test, which works out well if you can actually follow that plan. Unfortunately we hardly can.

Cory
