Abstract: We prove that Claas R"over's Thompson-Grigorchuk simple group $VmathcalG$ has type $F_{i}nfty$. The proof involves constructing two complexes on which $VmathcalG$ acts: a simplicial complex analogous to the Stein complex for $V$, and a polysimiplical complex analogous to the Farley complex for $V$. We then analyze the descending links of the polysimplicial complex, using a theorem of Belk and Forrest to prove increasing connectivity.
