""I got to see it beforehand, and [Germany] is a great place, and obviously we're trying to go down there and handle business," Robinson said Thursday. "But I think this will be good for all the guys and myself just to see new things there and continue to learn about countries in Europe and how somewhere new, you can find a liking to it and enjoy it. "But for us, we're just ready to go ball out and go have fun.""
