the ball is pretty large, the air drag would throw it off. in a perfect vacuum, yes, that would work, but not in the game

Re: Self pass over the truss

if you take the size of the robots into consideration you may not even have to move at all because the bot could be long enough to just sit under the truss.

Then you compensate by throwing it forward slightly.

the ball is heavy enough and the flight duration short enough that Kevin's approximation is a valid one (as in less significant than other mechanical errors throwing and catching)

The truss is only 1 foot wide, so if you stood almost below it and threw it in a shape like a steep parabola, you would only have to move a foot or two to catch it.

Well you'd probably have to move closer to 5. 2 feet for ball, 1 for truss, then another 2 for the ball as it falls on the other side.
