GregTheGreat has a spectacular aura about

I think that every tobot needs some planning. I really don't think it would even be possible without some planning. There are so many parts of a robot, and the drive train must be carefully planned before construction can begin. I have gotten the chance to talk to a lot of rookie teams this year, and many of them plan more then even championship teams do.

Good Luck to everyone this year at the invatationals. See you guys next year.
