Catching a ball

Our team was brainstorming some ideas today, and one idea was to make a catching mechanism that would take up quite some space on our robot. Would catching be worth getting the extra 10 points? We did some calculations and it came out as having less cycles and spending more time trying to catch the ball. It can be a good resource to have among an alliance, but it would be hard to have it on the robot with other mechanisms that would be on the robot.
