Their ball pickup was very effective, but from what I saw at the IRI elims, they spent a lot of time holding balls in the alley, not feeding them across the field. It seemed like they may have been guarding 4th, 5th, and other balls they couldn't pick up, but I wouldn't consider that feeding, its just defensive play.

Agreed. 4334 is a good defender of both robots and balls, but it seems to me they don't come close to 207 or 125, etc in throughput (certainly not even approaching 16). Our scouting reflects this, though it's not comprehensive.
That match at IRI that dodar's talking about is a great example. Watching balls constantly shot back and forth across the field was incredible and really only topped by showdowns like the 207 vs 16 on Einstein. I can't think of any matches like that involving 4334? For defense yes, but not really for feeding?
