Our strengths complemented each other. your repeatable throwing skill made it easy for our driver to recover the ball quickly. The two catches in a row was amazing! Our driver is really good and I figured it would happen at some point, but wasn't too sure if we could catch the line drive throws. The fact that both were "on the run" blew me away!

399's catches in the finals match in traffic were amazing. I hadn't realized the opposing alliance scored only 1 teleop point and was playing 100% defense until I saw the replay, and 399 still caught 2 balls and we scored 2 60 point cycles. Thanks for being such a great alliance partner!
More generally, this game is very exciting when an alliance gets rolling like we did in the final few matches. With the truss shot, catch and long shot, the ball starts flying and you are watching more than one robot at a time. After watching the qualifying, we could see how really difficult it is to pull off complete teamwork. It must be what the GDC was envisioning.
