The pyriamid is never going to give you up, never going to let you down.

Frisbee Launcher.
It's a bit too big for a robot, though.

Has anyone been able to find the frisbee product online or at any store? the Part is a Wham-O Frisbee Super Flyer, Item number 53214. I am unable to find it anywhere except for on wham-o.com, and I can't even buy it there. I tried contacting there Customer Service, but it is closed.

Before the start of each MATCH, the ARENA is populated with 118 White DISCS, 6 Red DISCS, and 6 Blue DISCS.
Holy crap. 118 white discs? And its not a typo due to the rest of the section... This is going to get messy...

If a CLIMB is considered unacceptable (e.g. a ROBOT has touched non-adjacent Levels or more than two (2) Levels at a time), a Referee will indicate a rejected CLIMB by turning the offending ROBOT’S PLAYER STATION LED strings yellow. The ROBOT will be ineligible for CLIMB points unless and until it begins a new CLIMB from the floor, Level 0.
The ground counts as a level, so a robot must lift itself off the ground using the level 1 bar before going for the level 2 bar

Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!
 
So after looking through the manual a few times, I haven't seen anything that would prevent the following strategy:

1. Collect 4 colored disks.
2. climb (sequentially) to the top of your pyramid
3. score disks into pyramid goal
4. retrieve falling disks from beneath goal
5. repeat steps 3&4 till the game ends
6. profit???

Why are some discs colored (6 blue discs and 6 red discs 90 white disks) can you only score with your own color?

You can only score in the top pyramid goal with your own colored disks. I am not sure if you can also use them on the other goals.
