You robot does a great catch! Your panels really do seem bounce-free. That ball just sets in nicely. I can't remember which team I saw that had a net, but a net seems to be the other bounce-free solution to catching. I think your difference will benefit you in your catches. I'm glad to see more teams with linear lauching mechanisms. Good luck!
