The intake is interesting, because it appears that frisbees would slide onto that plate for a few inches before contacting the roller.
Can you provide any details regarding the wheel mounted between the shooter and the frisbee hopper? Could this be part of your level 2 hanging mechanism?

You are correct about the shooter tipping down in order to receive ground disks from the capture device. The Frisbees then travel to the rear of the shooter where a mechanism (which you can't really see) loads them up into the the hopper. As you might imagine there are quite a few moving parts to the ground pick up system and in general we plan to load from the feeder station. The ground pickup capability is mostly for autonomous.
I believe you are seeing the wheels which help feed the Frisbees down from the hopper into the shooter (similar to the wheels on Robot in 3 Days).
