I just had a brainwave!

Pretty much the title. When we take the robo tech path, we usually start an observer straight after the robo finishes to get a quick scout. What if we get a warp prism instead?

Pros:
-faster
-doesn't cost gas
-can be used for harass now or later in the game
-might confuse zerg player and make them build more defense than they need to
-more hitpoints, harder to get sniped by spore crawlers

Cons:
-costs more minerals
-not invisible
-costs 1 more supply (but who cares seriously)
-can't camp/follow zerg army
-reveals tech path


The main reason I think this should be considered is the resources. For low-gas openers such as 1gate expand or FFE, the extra 75 gas could speed tech up a lot, while maintaining a decent sentry count. And at the same time, it can be used for fancy harassment to distract the zerg while teching as fast as possible at home. In other words, this might be a good way to rush for collosus and upgrades without falling too far behind.

Thoughts?
