Disk Gripper

We are thinking about building an arm with a gripper that supposed to collect the disks from the ground (as 2056, 67 and many more did last year with the balls). Someone have any ideas for the gripper? We want to catch the disks easy and fast, and it would the best if it we could the disk while the robot is moving.
We tried to use a roller gripper, but it can't lift the disk above the ground ( because the disks are flat and tough).
Thanks
