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

I did see one team at crossroads try to defend a catch but the ball fell in their robot instead, causing a foul. Everyone was a little cautious after that. Sorry I don't remember the match number or the team. At Queen City there was more defense. Every time a ball was caught, the crowd cheered.
