While a ball and a frisbee are fundamentally different, I don't see the ways in which you pick them being very different at all. Try prototyping similar methods (a ramp with a roller out front, etc) and seeing if that works.

As far as this design approach in general, the validity of ground pick up as been brought up again. With that being said, if you're having trouble with this, it might be a good idea to ensure that your robot can do some good from the feeder station.
