If this is not what u ment let me know.
yes, I saw those, and they are super machines at what they do

but I mean capture them from the floor - once a HP shoots and misses, and getting them from the other side of the field if necessary - sweeping them up from the floor and carrying them to the corral, instead of just pushing them around

catching the balls as they fall will be an excellent strategy if the release ball is knocked loose by your alliance in auton mode - but it has some weaknesses

getting the 24 balls into the goal is going to require keeping both corrals fed with a steady stream of balls, for both HPs, and getting the ones that miss so they can shoot again.

besides, out of 950+ teams, only 4 have shown the abilty to gather, carry and control the small balls? thats not many

(but then again, we havent posted photos of our bot yet, KateGleasonOne :c)
