Certainly a robot capable of collecting and/or flipping discs would be valuable, nobody denies that. The question is how much weight, manpower, space, and motors are you willing to sacrifice, and how much will you realistically be gaining from that sacrifice.

For some experienced teams it may be cost-effective to use a collecting system, but for the vast majority, the trade-off my not be in their favor.
