I addressed this in another post, but if you're planning to throw the disc with any resemblance of accuracy over any distance greater than, say, 3ft, you're going to have to do it the way it was intended: right side up, and with spin. I guarantee you we will see 0 robots that emulate the human throw called the hammer. A hammer is hard for a human, it'd be even harder for a robot. (Source: ultimate player)
