Our team uses a weighted-objectives-table (WOT) to help determine what strategies and designs we want. "Cool Factor" is typically weighted significantly less than "efficiency", "elegance", and "effectiveness". This is a clear quantitative assessment of what our team values.
Excuse the expression, but that is just how we roll.  Your mileage may vary.

I'm with John, but I'd argue that if you have an elegant robot it's probably pretty darn cool.
