What DID help was the net slowing it down. I was at the side of the field taking pictures, right near the net. The Frisbee left the robot from the side of the field (maybe 3 feet in from the rail. pointing right at me to shake out a jam) and without the net to slow it, I surely wouldn't even remember the incident.
I think video exists of the shot (I'm just barely out of frame except for the recovery, or else I'm sure it'd be as GIF-able as the Dean video), but I can't remember which match it was or where I saw it.
