1678 also has the capability to catch (which we did several times at the Week 0 practice session) but haven't since IER.
@Citrus Dad, that had to have been our collectively worst auton period of the entire elim matches!

I personally think the "catch" is probably the most undervalued point action in the game. I think it would have made the build season more interesting if they would have given it a 20pt value, so that so many teams wouldn't have written it off their design as low probability / low reward point. I wonder if any regional experienced double digit catches total during it's entire weekend?

I was not at Utah, but was told 399 had 2 more catches that regional, and I know we caught another in a Las Vegas Qual round.

I loved our (1768 to 399) pass&catch as it was like a QB throwing to a receiver in full stride. nothing "Lob & run under" about it.

Here is the video 1678 posted publicly on youtube:
