Is this a catch? It would be a possession... the bar is moving relative to the robot... so this would be launching which is defined as possession.

Granted you don't know exactly where the ball will be going but you should get the 10 points for a catch..


What say you?
We already discussed this question on kickoff day http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124016&highlight=definition+of+ca tch
