Robotics business plans

[Nielsen]

A business plan is a great thing, and I recommend it, but strongly keep in mind what a wise man once said (I dont remember who is was ) : "Make a business plan and then throw it away",... meaning that its a good idea to know where you want to go, but don't let a plan limit your journey.

On my old team, we based ours on the Skunkworks Robotics business plan and team 234's as well. These two clearly outline what a winning and effective business plan looks like. And hey, in Palmetto this year, 11 won the business awards so it must have worked! Both documents are posted in CD Media.

Lol yeah Rich. Much easier to spell

Never heard of the business award, is it anything like the Entrepreneurship Award?

Glad to hear it won the awards since we borrowed liberally from 11's business plan

P.S. Sure would be nice if entrepreneurship was easier to spell ;>

I agree with Nielsen about not letting the business plan hold you back, but there is a lot of valuable information in the business plans and really makes you think through what you can and can't do and how you will handle serious problems that could easily arise during the year. So the process of generating the business plan is certainly as useful as having the plan itself.
