Re: Need inspiration on how to harvest or pick up frisbees

Our prototype for an intake mechanism basically involves a 3/8" shaft with Banebot wheels (with blue polyurethane). They get amazing traction on the frisbees, so try them out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask
According to Team Update 1, the disks are 1.4" tall, not 1.625" (1 5/8") tall. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
