I disagree, I think the frisbee will be much easier to shoot. We already have fairly accurate design that shoots pretty far with tremendous accuracy when only powered by a drill. That coupled with the fact that you will probably only need a fixed disk speed, as I doubt the disks will bounce out of the chain-backed areas. This seems to eliminate a lot of need for advanced math and lead to higher scoring IMO
