The best one I saw was the 2056 and 254 combo but there was still very little D on that even. I think the catch might be cool in practice matches or on occasion but isn't useful during matches...maybe its just the different style of play we have here in Michigan  |
It has surprised me the lack of defense that has been played in some of the matches I've seen. There were only 2 successful catches that I saw at Chesapeake, mainly because people would play defense when they saw you were trying to catch. It could very well be the style of play in the different areas, but the lack of defense in some of the matches is surprising since only 2 teams per alliance really have an offensive role at any one time, leaving the 3rd robot to defend.
