"Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication." - Leonardo DaVinci

John and Chris seem to be making a habit of creating simple and elegant robots which are near optimized for game challenges. Look at the geometry of their 2005 (with Team 229) and 2007 arms. Both were perfect for each challenge. Refined simplicity along with a smart strategic design are the keys to success in FIRST. Team 148 has mastered both this year.
