Re: Catching a ball

Well catching will be pretty difficult, considering that the ball is bouncy, and there is a chance that the mechanism may not successfully catch the ball every single time. In my opinion, it would seem to add time to each cycle if you tried to catch as well, since you now have to concentrate on catching a ball, and extra time to pick it up if it didn't catch properly. If you have a mechanism that will catch every single time successfully, then I can see how it can be faster.
