Go to Post I knew that the students on our team really understood what FIRST was all about when, two years later, our unofficial team motto changed from "we want to BEAT Chief Delphi" to "we want to BE Chief Delphi." - dlavery [more]

Re: Catching a ball

We had an idea of extending aluminum rod backed lexan out 20 inches on each side of us with a slight lip. We are trying to find a way to get it to pull inwards, but have not yet. We think it should count for a catch if the ball lands in this permitter and stays on the platform, we retract it, the ball falls to the ground and we pick it up from there.

One idea for extending was to have an aluminum zig zag thing (like the bottom of an ironing board, repeated, like on a construction lift) that would extend a canvas. This may not count as catching thought, but it could work.
