Do you know how they got Frisbees into the hopper? It seemed like they pushed them in from the bottom, but I couldn't figure out how they make room under the other Frisbees.

Here's an illustration. Green is the frisbees path. Yellow is the elevator.

I'm confused as to how they push the blue frisbee up to make room for the red frisbee...

The roller closest to the magazine just forces the Red disc under the Blue...

The incoming disc has enough force and the proper angle to lift the other discs up and out of the way.

Once the magazine is full it's lifted up about a foot to align with the shooter deck.

We had a similar floor intake plan (when we had a floor intake). We now use it to get discs from the feeder.

Watch the first 10 secs of this video. We were pulling in from the side of the disc but 118 uses a roller that puts pressure on top of the disc but it's the same idea.

1477 also moved to this system after Lone Star.

Yeah, we use a similar intake. Basically the rollers that are pulling in the disc have enough force to just push the rest of the discs up into the stack.
