After competing in Portland I can honestly say that forklifts are not the most successful loading mechanism. They get run over a lot, they can't catch a rolling ball easily, and they are unwieldy.
If you can catch the ball quickly you are more likely to succeed than if you can get it over quickly. 368 could pick up the ball in a second, it didn't matter that they took a bit longer to hurdle than the catapults.
Then again, if you can do both.... Power to ya
