The angled piece works because it causes the frisbees to not be stacked straight on top of each other. When the bottom frisbee contacts the angle as it falls to the base of the hopper it slides about 1/2" through the slot to the shooter. And since the slot to our hopper is only about 1mm higher than the frisbee it eliminates any chance of the above frisbee to slide infront of it and cause a jam.
Because of the angle of the peice it only comes in contact with the bottom frisbee and still allows the next three to remain perfectly stacked.
You can see how the bottom (white) frisbee is slightly offset from the others here:

I hope this explaination makes sense.
