I wouldn't consider it superficial.

When it comes to a 3rd robot at regionals, often it's a darn hard choice if you're one of the higher seeds. It's usually less about ability, and more about their chance of breaking down.

Our scouts will track teams via data watching the matches, but myself, the pit crew, and some of the scouts will also make note of our perception of team's build quality, battery setup, tool setup, pit organization, etc. as we walk around the pits.

When you're looking for a robot that can drive from point A to B, and more importantly *finish* the match, these factors do weigh in.
