I think that picking up the frisbees is going to be a waste of time. There's a pretty small number sitting on the field, and the main way to get most of the frisbee's is through the feeding station.

However, I was thinking of a conveyer system which would have a little hatch open. Above the hatch would be a suction cup on a piston. It would go down, pick up the frisbee, then deposit it on the conveyer belt. Simple and fast. Doesn't solve the upside down issue though...
it will have to depend on the constictors of the belt shelfs
