I agree with Peter. I also think that a whole class of robot has been overlooked. One which picks up from the floor efficiently, and can "shovel" frisbees a few feet in the air regardless of orientation. I foresee many matches with frisbees all over the floor near the goals in the last 45 seconds. A clean-up shoveler can pick up 4 after all the robots have cleared out to go hang, raise a lift, and push them into the 2 or 3 pointer with ease. Last 10 seconds (with a good driver) go grab the bar for 10 points.

I really wanted to build one of these this year. I hope I get to see a good one.
