Re: Steampunk wiring - wiring color
Before you go through all sorts of fun coloring and sheathing (which can be perfectly acceptable and often really nice looking), make sure to ask yourself:
Are the aesthetic changes I am about to make going to impact the functional performance or maintainability of the robot?
All the strange colored wires might be fun and all, and the paint could be wonderful, but I'm willing to wager a corndog that there are reasons other than the rules themselves that the Cheesy Poofs paint everything on their robot except the wires. (And electronics, etc)
