Definition of A Catch
Based on the two definitions below, a robot gets credit for a catch if they simply impel the ball in a desired direction. So you don't have to "catch" the ball in the way we normally think about it. You just need to push it in a desired direction before it hits the floor and you get full points. Anyone else reading it differently?
The definition of a CATCH:
A CATCH occurs when a BALL SCORED over the TRUSS by a ROBOT’S ALLIANCE partner is POSSESSED by that ROBOT before contacting the carpet or HUMAN PLAYER. An ALLIANCE receives CATCH points only if the CATCH is directly preceded by a TRUSS SCORE.
The definition of POSSESS:
POSSESS: (for a ROBOT) to carry (move while supporting BALLS in or on the ROBOT), herd (repeated pushing or bumping), launch (impel BALLS to a desired location or direction), or trap (overt isolation or holding one or more
BALLS against a FIELD element or ROBOT in an attempt to shield them) a BALL.
