As a recommendation (that I'm sure you've thought of): make sure it's relatively easy for a driver to approach and pick up a disc... as with prior years and game pieces, a harvester's usefulness is often limited by ability to receive a game piece easily. Most often this means making the harvester/mouth as wide as possible...
