Re: Disk Gripper

Our tests have shown that some kind of thin, slippery, flexible scoop works well for getting under the Frisbee to assist a rolling mechanism to pick it up. If the coefficient of friction between scoop/Frisbee is a lot less than the coefficient of friction between carpet/Frisbee, it slides under the Frisbee quite easily.
