Why is the project of the month always a beauty contest? I bet if you build something that does not even run, if it is beautiful it will win.
Real life is not like that. I have seen a lot of projects that I though were amazing that do not shin like a mirror.
It seems to me the project that wins is the one where the builder spends more TIME making is SHINE than actually building it.
It reminds me of the Model Airplane Flying club contest. Flyers compete in flying skills and get point for how well they fly. Several years ago they changed the rules now 10% of each flyers points is HOW BEAUTFUL THEIR AIRPLANE IS. A large percentage of the flyers quit competing, rules are not fair because airplane beauty has nothing to do with flying skills.
What about racing, if a driver is FIRST to cross the finish line who care how ugly his car is. I bet if NASCAR changed the rules so part of a drivers point is based on how beautiful his car is, that would make people very MAD.
