This allowed them to build sophisticated robots and write autonomous programs very quickly for prototyping this year's Aim High game.

I'm impressed at the Vex robots that your team dreamed up this year. I saw a bunch of them at UTC, but sadly I never actually got to see one of the matches in action. I've had plans to build a Mini Aim High robot since the Kickoff; but so far I haven't really had any time to build much. The day after the Kickoff I tried building a bunch of different shooters that would shoot raquetballs. Unfortunately, raquetballs are too heavy to be used for shooting in Vex.
I did have one of those deja vu moments when I saw the TechnoKats robot this year, as I built almost that exact same design out of Vex parts the day after the Kickoff.
