In auton the frisbees that are "free game" are line up side by side, why not pick up both at once? 7 frisbee auton in top goal = 42 points. Add in a 10 point climb and you just beat the teams that score 4 alliance disks in tower goal and climb high...and there is still teleop scoring to be had! Auton is key, like most years, and because of that, a frisbee pick-up mechanism should be strongly considered.
