That was insane fast and nobody thought it could be done that fast but they pursued their goal and achieved it. I personally think full court assist will be possible this year, but not common
This is true, but wouldn't the robot catching have to be able to move well to catch ball? And if say defensive robot had 6 CIMs and driving capabilities I think it might make it hard to catch, again causing a wild ball chase, which is what your opponent wants. But it might work? Who knows anything is possible in FIRST, maybe you could make a braking system to hold you in place?
