title: Robotic modeling of mobile ball-catching as a tool for understanding biological interceptive behavior.
abstract: We support Webb's insights into the potential benefits of using robotic modeling to better understand biological behavior. We defend the major points put forward by Webb by presenting a specific case study in which robotic modeling of mobile ball catching has helped refine and clarify aspects of our understanding of biological interceptive behavior.
