Re: Ultimate Ascent Disc Durability

Do not compare your results with any other type of frisbee with this disc, especially for a test like this. There is a large difference between the types of plastics used; normal frisbees are made of a much softer, flexible plastic than this one and are designed to warp in response to stress. I suspect that these discs will crack after sufficient fatigue.

The FIRST discs actually don't warp much at all.

It's amazing. FIRST may have actually chosen a good, durable game piece this year. Go figure.
Are you saying that you didn't manage to break any of the FIRST discs by driving over them? I find that rather impressive.
