We (1771) used two ducted fans on our lunacy bot. They provided about 10 extra pounds of thrust, laterally of course.
It was great, we could push anything around.
On the other hand, engaging the fans would drop our battery to about 6 or 7 volts. The battery would be shot every match.
Point being, I think for any robot to create airflow to deflect the fast moving Frisbees, it will be at a high battery cost.
