Truss throw catching club

[MrForbes]

We caught a truss shot in a qualifying match at Arizona. We tried a few more times and failed, it is hard to do, especially with a robot that isn't really designed for it.

[Brian Selle]

We had 2 (almost 3) truss catches throw by 662 in qualifier match 60 in Colorado.

148 had a catch from 359 in the quarter finals at Dallas. The crowd went wild.

[Mike Marandola]

Thanks to our extendable arms we have caught about 5 times at Chestnut Hill and Lenape.

Todd Ferrante from 2363 mentioned the day spent with us practicing
at our place. Below is a link that one of our mentors did. (thanks Matt)
While its not a video...there are some shots that show us practicing
throwing and catching.

2363 because of the design of their robot is very very good at catching
when they are on their game.

Thanks Todd for your Kind words.

BTW...the field carpet you see...is from the Virginia regional field last year.
Compared to the carpet carnage i've seen this year, last years game was much easier
on carpet and the VCU carpet was still in excellent shape after the regional.

At Pittsburgh we had back-to-back perfect cycles with 1503 catching. We also had two catches of our own throughout the event and I believe 1218 had one.

Below is a video where around the 55 sec mark we make a catch. The pass was thrown by team 2992. We had catches from other teams as well including team 2468 whose passing ability was much appreciated.

At the start you will also see that we belong to the Multi-Ball Auto club.

Our team (4490) and team 16 and 45 had a practice match in which we ran a few perfect cycles including catches by us, we had a big huge orange net catcher that worked great! I'll try to post a video of it sometimes, or someone could look up the arkansas regional on youtube and it is one of the first search results.

It's these kinds of relationships which the teams of Virginia need to develop with one another in order to raise the level of gameplay in our state to match other areas of the country.

Todd, thanks for the kind words. We've thoroughly enjoyed working with 2363 as well and I couldn't have said it any better.

Back on topic, I've heard we have a very "catchable" truss shot. Check out this GoPro video of a planned shot with team 401 in a practice match at Virginia: http://youtu.be/z5OVD5vnTdg

We (1024) made 14 catches at Crossroads. Below is a list of teams whose truss shot we have caught. We are also looking at videos to count up how many catches we made at our other 2 events (Palmetto and Queen City). Catching was a major part of our strategy at Crossroads. It allowed our alliance to score more points per cycle which gave us an edge on our opponents.

537 - 2 catches - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-yTOKtuhMk#t=72

The truss/catch combo was so exciting to see in competition but there didn't seem to be a lot of it going on.

Here is a video of Flash 1319 completing a catch at the Bayou Regional (look at 1:33).

Having a great throwing partner is so important for the catch! Thanks to all the teams that completed or at least attempted the truss/catch shot with us! It was exciting!

Here is the video of ours with Team 45 and 16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYGtIwOhKw4

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nxGDV69IxU

Still stings a bit that we didn't manage to score that last ball.

That is mind blowing, and the best Aerial Assist I have ever seen.

[BL0X3R]

We had two perfect cycles in match 35 (first and last cycle)
