4950 was the perfect fit: quick inbounding with a simple gravity-powered mechanism, capable of precisely dropping the ball for 3360 rapid picker, and playing defence for the rest of the cycle. 4950 was overlooked by almost all teams. They were way better than 3360 or us, 3990, and they did perfectly what they were built for: inbounding/assisting.
