Re: Definition of A Catch

A CATCH occurs when a BALL SCORED over the TRUSS by a ROBOT’S ALLIANCE partner is POSSESSED by that ROBOT before contacting the carpet or HUMAN PLAYER.


Quote:
An ALLIANCE receives CATCH points only if the CATCH is directly preceded by a TRUSS SCORE. This means that an ALLIANCE can only receive CATCH points once per CYCLE and will not receive CATCH points if the TRUSS SCORE criteria are not met.
Because of the way this part is explained, I take to only have to do with robot catching a ball that was not shot over the truss.

But I agree this is definitely a grey area and a question for Q and A
