Re: Catching a ball
Yesterday I thought catching would happen by gently tapping a ball over the truss. Today watching an interesting game of racket-ball I realized the true potential of catching.
Robot 1 gets ball from human player and immediately shoots it over truss at far wall. Robot 2 is approximately between 2 and 3 feet in front of the wall and catches the rebound. My prototype of a 68 inch box seemed to be able to catch a good deal of balls from 35 feet... Then 1 or 10 point goal shoot as you see fit.
Always keeping your shooting / acquiring mechanism facing the goal is a huge advantage! Also even when the ball is not caught it should be close to you.
