I'd never paid that much attention to how the 217 drive team looks. I did recall that they wore green shirts, and that some of them sported non-traditional hairstyles.
My lasting impression of 217 (for years now) has been based on how their robot looks, dynamically. It is poultry in motion.
And the color scheme is nice, too.
However, a participant's perception of robot beauty can differ substantially from that of a non-participating spectator. And the latter view dictates what will or will not become a media-bite, fit for airtime that can elevate awareness of FIRST and thereby further the goal of culture change. So if the Thunderchickens look like rock stars, it can't hurt.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
