So ... you'd rely on the 100% accuracy of the throwing robot, rather than provide some flexibility by allowing the catcher to adjust?

Put another way, if the ball is a mere 6" off target, you'd rather have the ball bounce off you (and then have to go chase it) than see a robot with the ability to take a half step to the right?
