Re: aesthetic robots

Just to repeat what has already been said, 254, 118, 1114, and 148 always have amazing robots. One thing that my team has done for several years now is used a polycarb shell that we painted from the inside and we don't usually paint our metal. It is certainly not as good as the teams listed above but the shell always makes the bot look much better, and it serves to protect the stuff that is actually important. Something else that we have done to improve looks is made use of LEDs for underglow and headlights. One thing that has been mentioned on this thread multiple times is theme and that is certainly something that can help a robot look better and better catch the attention of scouters. Scouting teams are often drawn to a robot that looks good as well as functions because good looks tend to suggest more time left after the initial build to practice and perfect the design.
