Where is your team getting your disks from during the match?

I made that mistake too. He meant during the match where are we getting discs from.

Yes, I see that. A better question needed to be asked by the OP to get the answers they were actually looking for...

You need a both floor and feeder option...

I changed the question, thank you for letting me know. I set it so you can select multiple choices, if you are getting from both, please choose both.

I think lots of people are underestimating the amount of discs that will end up on the floor. Every missed disc will end up on the ground, therefore they can be shot again. Then, if you have a feeder bot, it would become insane to not be able to pick up off the floor.

My reasoning for going for a floor pickup is then you could have one team stay at the feeder station during the first 30 seconds of a match and fire 30-45 discs over to your side of the field, so you don't need to go back and forth all the time.

I think people are underestimating the time it takes to pickup disks from scattered locations. Thinking something along the lines of drive 8 feet, turn, drive the other way, turn again and so on...
