Get a transmission if you can afford one or make one of your own so that you can catch the other robots and then be able to shift to torque. May I also suggest that you create a mechanism to flip the Frisbees over? Many teams launchers rely on the lift that the dent in the Frisbee creates when it is rotating. If the Frisbee is upside down, the Frisbee will fly differently.
