Thanks for the concern! The dumper design was updated since the simulation run. Our trapdoor only falls open to 45 or 60 degrees depending on tests this weekend so that the frisbees all slide out. We hope that the angle and sliding momentum will be enough to keep them from stacking higher than the target line.

On another note, I personally feel that is a stupid rule/interpretation. I figure there are only 6 frisbees that can score and as long as they are within the horizontal component of the target box they should count. It is not trivial to get them up there and it seems to penalize those that are trying for the hardest goal.
